Fellow Kohackers,
There has been some talk before of using ICU chains with Zebra in order to resolve issues with diacritic search. I've looked at the patch from BibLibre (
http://git.biblibre.com/?p=koha;a=commit;h=c2465153cccb8965b0008186cdb0a94a57317849), and it seems pretty straightfoward, but it's nearly a year old, and I'm wondering if any work has been done since then. Does this commit resolve the issue (at least for French diacritics)?
If this methodology is working, what should we do to get it committed to Koha? I'd imagine that we'd need to generalize it to work with all languages... either by making a master set of rules, or having different xml files that can be called depending on your language choice... ideas?
Cheers,
