Hi Colin!

I stumbled across an email you sent to the Indexdata Zebralist in 2013: http://lists.indexdata.dk/pipermail/zebralist/2013-August/002576.html

Were you ever able to solve those problems?

Also, what version of Zebra were you running? I’ve noticed this problem with Zebra using 2.0.59, but I haven’t been able to produce it using Zebra 2.0.47. I had the exact same configuration files, MySQL database, and Zebra indexes. Here’s an example:

2.0.59:

Z> f UPA-CE14060101

Sent searchRequest.

Received SearchResponse.

Search was a success.

Number of hits: 12325, setno 1

SearchResult-1: term=UPA cnt=12325

records returned: 0

Elapsed: 0.021128

2.0.47:

Z> f UPA-CE14060101

Sent searchRequest.

Received SearchResponse.

Search was a success.

Number of hits: 1, setno 3

SearchResult-1: term=UPA cnt=12325, term=CE14060101 cnt=1

records returned: 0

Elapsed: 0.015657

It looks like the packages in Debian 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 are stuck back at Zebra 2.0.44, which is from 2010. However, Indexdata apparently has newer deb packages for both Debian and Ubuntu: http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/. In fact, the server I’m having problems with appears to have installed Zebra 2.0.59 using the following “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/indexdata.list” pointing to “deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian squeeze main”.

I’m guessing that you were using a Zebra version that was higher than 2.0.47? Possibly a deb package installed from Indexdata’s repos?

I know Tomas has had good luck contacting Indexdata folk… maybe he has some ideas about how to find a solution to this issue?
