Correct me if I'm wrong- but I've been told that Zebra is the reason the facets work the way they do - and there are issues there as well.
It's more correct to say that since Koha's facets *don't* use Zebra's native facet functionality that they don't work as well as they should.
I don't find the only issue with Zebra to be phrase searching, but also boolean searches, the ordering of the facets, the inability to show the number of hits next to facets or order them in alpha order ... and maybe even more I'm forgetting now.
All of those issues have more to do with C4::Search than Zebra itself.
But I do agree that there will be problems no matter what - or maybe not problems but challenges - this is the nature of technology.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not speaking as an apologist for Zebra, except possibly to counter-balance what I think are some mischaracterizations of where the problems lie. I would be quite happy to have Koha work with Solr as well. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt@gmail.com
