Demian, thank you for the prompt reply, and this was very helpful.

After a it of investigation into the definition of MARC 7xx fields, I determined that my personal and corporate names were worthy "added entry" status. Consequently, I have inserted them into the author2 fields of my Vufind/Solr index. They do not necessarily show ups a "authors" but rather "Other authors", and they are field searchable. 'Works for me at the moment.
