Quite frankly, my only concern at this point is to get rid of Zebra and integrate different search methodology which is apparently not high on the Koha horizon; Hi Paul, here is Paul ;-)
This is high on BibLibre list, definetly ! we are convinced that switching to a new search engine like solR is a must. And we've 2 libraries that have sponsored this work. That won't be in 3.6 (I think), but I think it should/must be in a 4.0 version (reminder : we switched from v1 to v2 then v3 when a major structural change has been done (v1-> v2 = MARC support, v2-> v3 = zebra search engine). We started a thread about this switch to explain the limits we see with zebra, have organised meetings, some ppl have tested what we did (thx thomas ;-) ), we will probably speak about that on koha-devel in some weeks (during/after summer ?)
I concur, supporting other fulltext search engines is definitely for Koha, im still hoping for 3.6 .. but Paul might be right it might need to wait for 4.0. But definitely keep an eye out on koha-devel. The only contention is how to achieve it, not whether to achieve it :) Chris
