[Koha-devel] ICU chains

[Ian Walls]

Fellow Kohackers,


There has been some talk before of using ICU chains with Zebra in order to
resolve issues with diacritic search.  I've looked at the patch from
BibLibre (
http://git.biblibre.com/?p=koha;a=commit;h=c2465153cccb8965b0008186cdb0a94a57317849),
and it seems pretty straightfoward, but it's nearly a year old, and I'm
wondering if any work has been done since then.  Does this commit resolve
the issue (at least for French diacritics)?

There has also been some recent posting on handling both Roman and Devangari
script (
http://old.nabble.com/Re:-display-search-result-problem-p28106148.html).  It
references the BibLibre commit.

If this methodology is working, what should we do to get it committed to
Koha?  I'd imagine that we'd need to generalize it to work with all
languages... either by making a master set of rules, or having different xml
files that can be called depending on your language choice... ideas?

Cheers,


-Ian
