[Koha-devel] Catalog Items Don't Appear in OPAC Search

[Richard Forristall]

Good day everyone,
 
Our librarian is having trouble with the OPAC search.  When a student
searches for books that we know are in the database, some will not
appear in the results list.  Yet, if we go into the staff client and do
a checkout, we can find the catalog item.
 
At first thought, it would seem the catalog item is not getting into the
zebra index so the search doesn't find it.
 
Does Koha automatically do a zebra index when catalog items are added?
Is there a setting in the Koha admin that has to be set?
 
In OPAC, when we search for a book we don't see it in the results list.
 
 
In staff client:
When we want to check out the book (the library uses a barcode scanner
to find the book):
The book is then found and we can check it out.
 
The impact is the student can't find some books for the work they need
to complete. So only if a student happens to see the book on the shelf
can he/she check it out.
 
Thanks in advance for any/all assistance.
 
 
Thanks,
 
Rick
