Yes, you'll need -f. I also recommend -v -v to get a bit more noise
about what's happening.

Incremental changes should be updated from a cron job that the packages
install.

By doing a rebuild_zebra with sudo, you've gone and broken your
permissions again, stopping incremental updating from working. So here's
what I'd do:

* shut down anything to do with zebrasrv. 'sudo service koha-common
stop' and some checking with ps to make sure there's nothing still
running. If there is, figure out where it's coming from and kill it.
* delete /var/lock/koha
* delete /var/run/koha
* delete /var/lib/koha
* run 'sudo koha-create-dirs library'
* rebuild everything: 'sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v -v library'
* start up zebrasrv: 'sudo service koha-common start'

I'm not sure why rebuilding with koha-rebuild-zebra would have stopped
search from working. If that happens again, I'd suggest diagnosing it
properly by running zebrasrv from the command line so you get to see all
the information about what it's doing.

Also note that as a result of deleting /var/lib/koha, you'll need to run
'sudo koha-email-enable library' to have email turned back on if you use
that.
