[Koha-devel] Problems with Indexdata idzebra-2.0 build (Zebra 2.0.59)

[David Cook]

As Robin points out, the 2.0.59 version of Zebra has another problem as well.

When using ICU, words with hyphens aren't tokenized correctly. 

For instance, "Mont-Royal" would be truncated down to "Mont" both at indexing and search time. 

So a query for "Mont-Royal" would indeed return the records for "Mont-Royal", but it would also return the records for "Mont-Liban". 

A query for "Royal" would also return no records for "Mont-Royal" as well. 

Dreadful.

However, IndexData have fixed this problem with Zebra 2.0.60. 

So... that's a thing. At the moment, the easiest most short-term fix to me is to point to IndexData's Debian repositories, but I don't  think that'll be acceptable as a long-term solution. 

We mostly use OpenSuse, and I managed to get them to add Zebra 2.0.60 to their stable repositories, so we're OK for now. 

Now that Jessie has been released, perhaps there's a higher chance of the fix getting into Debian stable as well?
