Hi, Here are some notes from the first day of hackfest: * A total of 34 kittens were saved [1]. In other words, a number of bugs were worked on, tested, QAed, and pushed. * Several tutorial sessions took place, including a session on Koha bug reporting and patch testing fundamentals led by Bob Birchall and a tutorial on Git and navigating the Koha source tree lead by myself. * Several folks had a lengthy discussion about various issues regarding search and indexing. A couple short-term projects initiated today include dealing with a bug concerning retrieving oversize ISO 2709 records from Zebra and a project to switch facet calculation over to using Zebra's built-in faceting. There was also discussion of the idea of using Elasticsearch as a complement to Zebra and Solr. * Chris Cormack helped a library upgrade their Koha database from (I think) 3.6 all the way to 3.12 ... in 27 minutes. Tomorrow tutorial sessions on DBIx::Class and Class::Accessor are planned as well as a roundtable on digging into Zebra's internals. For folks wanting to play along at home, lists of wishlist items [2] and notes from the conference roundtables [3] are available on the wiki. I'm sure this summary is incomplete, and I encourage other hackfest attendees to supplement it.

Hi I read in old messages of Zebra list (msg from Henri Damien Laurent and other Koha dev), whose general thrust was that Zebra built-in facets were not working well for strings with diacritics, or maybe with ICU. https://www.google.fr/search?q=facets+zebra+icu+site:lists.indexdata.dk&client=firefox-a&hs=9nq&rls=org.mozilla:fr:official&channel=fflb Is it still true? I don't see any improvement about facets in Zebra changelog (http://www.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/NEWS), except "Facets can now be performed on sort registers (:s), not just regular indexes (:w, :p) etc.." (2008). Did you consider working with Indexdata on that issue?

Mathieu, I read in old messages of Zebra list (msg from Henri Damien Laurent and
other Koha dev), whose general thrust was that Zebra built-in facets were not working well for strings with diacritics, or maybe with ICU. https://www.google.fr/search?**q=facets+zebra+icu+site:lists.** indexdata.dk&client=firefox-a&**hs=9nq&rls=org.mozilla:fr:** official&channel=fflb<https://www.google.fr/search?q=facets+zebra+icu+site:lists.indexdata.dk&client=firefox-a&hs=9nq&rls=org.mozilla:fr:official&channel=fflb> Is it still true?
No. I demonstrated that it works fine now. I used ICU and a search for German records returned facets with properly encoded umlauts. The changes that you note in 2.0.34 may be what makes it work, but I'm actually not sure that we didn't just always have Zebra configured incorrectly, using tokenized indexes rather than untokenized indexes.

I'll back that up, the facets Jared demonstrated certainly were pretty in all their diacritics glory :-) On 21 Oct 2013 05:41, "Mathieu Saby" <mathieu.saby@univ-rennes2.fr> wrote:
