[Koha-devel] My Zebra Indexing won’t work

[Ian Bays]

Hi Waqar,

I recently discovered that if you have zero biblios in your database and 
you have an old (full) zebra database (with biblios indexed from 
earlier), if you do a rebuildzebra it does NOT clear the zebra index.  
If you really want to empty the zebra database (without messing about 
with the zebra database files) maybe you should create a single bib 
record (say) "Test Title", rebuild zebra; then delete that test title 
and do a rebuildzebra -z to remove the test title from the index.

I hope that helps.
