Adam, I'm going to copy this message to the Koha developers list, since I think you have found a possible bug in Koha. I believe I have seen at least one other message like yours, and had thought it was a Windows problem. I see now, however, that selecting "no marc" for 2.2.3 does not load the marc_word table (of course), yet the searches look for matches in the marc_word table -- so they would never work! At least that's what it looks like to me. Stephen Adam Nyaga said:

We have a project to promote koha in African Parliamentary libraries. Currently, we are planning an installation in one of the Parliaments, but first we have set up a test environment in our office to gain some confidence with the system.

We have installed the 2.2.3 version (windows installer from the koha on windows site). After setting up the basic parameters, we went through the acquisition process and added one biblio item. However, searching through the opac search interface or the catalogue interface in intranet returns no reults.

we have set the koha not to use MARC (system preferences marc=0). the query string i get from the opac-error log under apache folder is:

select distinct m1.bibid from biblio,biblioitems,marc_biblio,marc_word as m1 where biblio.biblionumber=marc_biblio.biblionumber and biblio.biblionumber=biblioitems.biblionumber and m1.bibid=marc_biblio.bibid and (m1.word like 'whys') order by biblio.title ASC

An entry for the biblio item exists in each of the tables in the query except for the marc_word table, which has no data.

What is the solution to this problem? We are using the default bibliographic framework with no tag mappings.

kind regards,

Adam Nyaga Nairobi, Kenya.
