[Koha-devel] Zebra with ICU and startswithnt, first-in-subfield, etc.

[Pongtawat Chippimolchai]

I try both enable and disable QueryFuzzy, QueryWeightFields,
QueryStemming and it seems to make no difference.

For record.abs, I use the default one that came with Koha 3.2. I could
post the file somewhere if it is needed. For Zebra, beside telling it
to use ICU (icuchain words-icu.xml), I didn't config anything else.

At least, is there a way to do exact match or start-with matching in
the staff client (cataloguing)

Thank you,
Pongtawat
