Thanks Kurt,
the 245 indicators are 0 0 on all three. I tried 'or the band played on' with no success either.
I did install koha on a freshly installed openSUSE 11.3 32-bit system with no change in the results.
When people say to turn stopwords off, is that 'Ignore' or 'Don't ignore'? Shouldn't make a difference, since it's not supposed to apply to zebra.
I just tried to search on 'and' and got nothing with either setting of the QueryRemoveStopwords preference.
At this point I'm stumped. I guess I'll just have to tell my librarians to not use the word 'and' in searches.
Its not quite that bad. (still bad I'll grant you :)) Check this out http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=fast+simple http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=fast+and+simpl... http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=and+simple So there is definitely a bug with and .. but only at the start of the phrase. There must be something in our search code that is telling zebra that that isn't part of the search but is a boolean operator instead. Could you please go to bugs.koha-community.org and file a bug for this with as much detail as you can manage. And someone will get onto fixing it. Chris

Here's an idea (whether it's worth anything is for someone else to decide):
Is it possible that your MARC field 245 second indicator is 4? That would indicate skipping the first four characters in the title "and_" for filing purposes. I don't know how zebra plays with that, if at all.
If zebra ignores MARC directions (as I guess is likely) does the word "and" act in its Boolean function, making the search look for " " AND "the band played on" together in the same record? And since there is no null set to coordinate with the title words, you get nothing returned. Would searching "or the band played on" retrieve the 3 records?
Again, pure speculation on my part.

I'm running koha 3.02.01 on a 64-bit openSUSE 11.3 system with zebra. I have 3 biblios for 'And the band played on', a book, a tape and a DVD.
When I search for 'and the band played on', it finds nothing. When I search for 'the band played on', it finds all three.
I've done a complete rebuild of the zebra index.
Any ideas?
