Yes,references to installdir are a bug, IMO, as they won't work.  As far as
your own patch is concerned, if the configuration file must live outside
the database, I suggest following the example of this line in
etc/koha-conf.xml:

 <queryparser_config>__KOHA_CONF_DIR__/searchengine/queryparser.yaml</queryparser_config>

Specifying the full path to the new config file in koha-conf.xml is safest.
 It is actually an error to assume that Koha's configuration directory is a
child of an "installation" directory -- for example, the Debian packages
don't lay files out like that.

Regards,

Galen
