           Summary: "NoZebraIndexes" system preference is being set to

Running Koha 3 (snapshot version) from 28-May-2008. The Koha database version
is 3.00.00.086. I'm running Koha in an Xen Virtual Machine running openSUSE
10.3, Apache 2.2.4 and MySQL 5.0.45

I'm using UNIMARC. I have disabled Zebra, by:

1 - When running "perl Makefile.PL" from this development snapshot, I have
answered "no" to the question "Install the Zebra configuration
files?"

2 - Running the Koha Web Installer and selecting "NoZebra" as the indexing
engine in "Step 3" (and selecting "Unimarc" as the MARC flavour). The Koha Web
Installer language chosen was "en" (English).


The problem detected was that catalog searches only worked for "keyword"
searches. Searches in other fields always returned "no results found" (e.g:
searches in "Title" or "Author" always returned zero results).

I have posted this problem in the Koha Mailing List:

[Koha] Catalog searches working with Keyword search but not with Title and
Author in Koha 3

In 30th May 2008, I entered the #koha IRC channel. Paul Poulain (paul), Galen
Charlton (gmcharlt) and Henri-Damien Laurent (hdl) helped working through this
problem and have identified it as being caused by the "NoZebraIndexes" system
preference being set with MARC21 values for UNIMARC installations. The problem
happens, at least, for installations when the selected language was "en"
(English). It may (or not) happen for other languages, too.
