+The authority schema also supports the [[solr_index_schema#dynamic_field_suffixes|dynamic field suffixes]] _date, _date_mv, _str, _str_mv, _txt, and _txt_mv. Some of VuFind's default import configurations take advantages of these suffixes to index some additional facet fields: chronological_facet_str_mv, form_facet_str_mv, general_facet_str_mv and geographic_facet_str_mv.

 ===== Obtaining Authority Records =====
@@ Line 34: / Line 45: @@
 There used to be an OCLC API for loading the LC Name Authority File, and VuFind 1.x included a tool for importing records from this API; as of this writing, that service is no longer available, and the FAST names are a preferable data source.

 ===== Authority Search =====
-Separate search systems have been created to allow author searching and browsing.  VuFind has a simple Authority module that allows searching of the authority index, and the [[Alphabetical Heading Browse]] takes advantage of authority data.  It is also possible to implement [[building_a_recommendations_module|Recommendations Modules]] and/or [[autocomplete#building_custom_suggestions|Custom Autosuggestions]] to take advantage of authority data, though this work is not yet complete.
