A couple of comments to Paul -- (SH)

2 modify it to add "seealso" feature. With see also, you can define in
MARC parameters other fields that can be searches when the 1st is asked.
For example : author (200$a => also search 701$a, 702$a, 703$a)
It's what Joshua speaks about when he says :

"For instance, rather than using Koha's title table to retrieve title
information for display
on the results screen I would like to grab: 245a, b, h, 246a, 295c"
    

That's not quite what Joshua meant, or at least he wouldn't call it
"seealso" (if I may speak for him).  Joshua meant that all of those tags
and subfields have to be searchable when the user does a title search.  In
English librarian lingo, "see also" means that if a user searches for
"subject_1" there's a "See also" note with a link to "related_subject_2." 
I think that's actually more like your "thesaurus" capability, isn't it
Paul?  (I have to admit I don't really understand how the thesaurus
works.)

ok, you're right... i should NOT have called it "seealso". Because it is what Joshua meant. And the 'see also' also refers to links in UNIMARC.
so, do you have another name for this feature/field ?

Those 2 are done & commited a few minuts ago.
3 modify search to add "order by feature". the order must be choosen in
a biblio or biblioitem field.
    

And even though Paul already knows this, we have to also handle the
"non-filing" characters in MARC titles somehow so that the order-by
feature puts "The World Book" in the "W's" and not the "T's."
  

you're right. I modify french wiki immediatly
