            Bug ID: 20745
           Summary: indexing/searching not active at end of installation
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: 17.11
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux

After installing Koha on Debian (instructions at
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian) with marc21 and english
language, and completing the installation wizard, you are finally redirected to
admin login and then you can perform your first Koha admin operation.  Suppose
you insert a biblio record with related item -- a typical first step for the
beginner.  At this point the item is indeed there (e.g. it appears in
inventory) but is not searchable: the search page for common users always
returns "not found".  And then you cry :)

But if, at this point, you open a shell on the server and issue the commands

sudo service koha-common stop
sudo service koha-common start

then everything starts working correctly, and the inserted item appears in the
search results.  Subsequently entered records are immediately searchable as
well.

It looks like the install wizard omits a final step consisting of activating
the indexing service, or something like that.  Or, otherwise, the install
instructions are omitting the above commands for restarting service before
first operation.
