My last email may have been a bit over the top, although I still stand by the fact that Search.pm butchers queries before they get to Zebra. Hopefully, the integration of ElasticSearch will make a re-write of the Zebra-related code to be unnecessary. While we’re still planning to hold on to Zebra, I think it’s mostly as a Z39.50/SRU server? I actually quite like Zebra as a search engine, but the way the search code in Koha was implemented makes it impossible to use Zebra as it should be used.

The documentation says "Two of the wildcard characters that can be used in Koha searches are the asterisk ('*') and the percent sign ('%'). However, these two characters act differently when used in searching." (http://manual.koha-community.org/3.22/en/searchfaq.html) But, CQL also supports the question mark wildcard "? : Matches any single character, so that c?t will match any of the words cat, cot or cut, but not coat or indeed ct." (http://zing.z3950.org/cql/intro.html#6) We are currently evaluating this implementation. If you already tried, your feebacks will be appreciated. And, any advice on how you'll do it will be welcome as well!
