There are a variety of possible indexing setups, so your configuration can be an issue.

Joy, when you make your searches with a colon, I'm guessing that you're doing something like the following: "title: subtitle", is that correct? That will cause problems because the ":" is a special character that separates an index and a search term.

If you do an Advanced Search (especially with phrase searches), this is much less likely to be an issue.

Hi Joy

We've found that searching without punctuation (and often without diacritics) is best if you can manage it. I don't know whether this is because of some setting in Koha or in the Zebra server. It can be particularly frustrating of you're copying and pasting to search!

With kind regards from the Dalton McCaughey Library Team

Hi all,
Have found that searches for titles (inc those with subtitles) that contain a colon will always return zero results. Does anyone have any advice about this?
