Hi,
in order to be able to search for non-Latin script with Zebra, you
will need to activate ICU for indexing. There are several pages on
the wiki explaining on how to do that:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ICU_chains_configuration
But there is a catch: At the moment Koha doesn't index the 880
fields properly. What you'd want to do ideally is linking the 880
with 245 content to the Title indexes, etc. So turning on ICU will
make Arabic searchable from your keyword index, but not from other
more specific ones.
See: Bug 17407 - Fields cataloged using MARC21 880 are only
searchable using keyword search
I think you might also want to have a look at your records and try
to combine the subfields $6 and others into one 880 each, instead
of having them separate (880$6...$a...). It will also improve the
display in the catalog, as it would also help the system to
recognize which fields are using RTL script. It could also be the
base for better indexing in the future.
Hope this helps,
Katrin

Hi,
We have finished entering all our library records to our Koha System (18.05.05.000) and now we have an issue with indexing our Arabic records. We can not search in Arabic to find records.
Is there anyone out there who has done this and would like to share their experience with us, please?
Respectfully
