this is the "how much of the word do we care about" section, and the way it lowkey decides everything:

• 2 — Left truncation
• 3 — Left and right truncation
• 100 — Do not truncate 🙅
• 101 — Process # in search term — regular #=.*
• 102 — RegExpr-1
• 103 — RegExpr-2
• 104 — Process # ?n — regular: #=., ?n=.{0,n} or ?=.* Z39.58

The 105-106 truncation attributes below are only supported by Index Data's Zebra server. 🦓

• 105 — Process * ! — regular: *=.*, !=. and right truncate
• 106 — Process * ! — regular: *=.*, !=.

🎀 COMPLETENESS (6) 🎀

is the field whole? a little piece? somewhere in between? say it with a number:

• 1 — Incomplete subfield
• 2 — Complete subfield
• 3 — Complete field

---

🌈 SORTING (7) 🌈

which way does the list go, bestie:

• 1 — ascending ⬆️
• 2 — descending ⬇️
