More Information Indexed from each Record

When I am indexing, I feel limited in how much information I can index. For instance, In a Wisconsin death record I was indexing recently, the only option for indexing a death place was death county. If the record mentioned a town instead, I couldn't index anything for the death place.

If there were more options, or broader categories, than I could index more information, which would help records be found and attached to profiles easier.

    The record owner decides what we index and how. Then a contract is drawn up with FamilySearch specifying the details.

    Generally, we are not transcribing all the information, but enough to create an index to bring researchers to records.
