Dear Friends, Here are the steps to tune Koha to search Indian languages precisely. I tried these steps on Koha 3.12.x installation based on Debian packages. I borrowed these steps from Koustubha Kale posting ( http://tinyurl.com/kza7l84) in Koha Discussion forum. I made slight changes in the instructions. Lets start tuning... Open a terminal and apply following commands one by one. Install additional packages sudo su apt-get install libicu-dev yaz-icu Copy few files to a new location cd /usr/share/idzebra-2.0/tab/ cp icu.idx phrases-icu.xml string.chr words-icu.xml /etc/koha/zebradb/etc/ cp /etc/koha/zebradb/etc/words-icu.xml /etc/koha/zebradb/etc/icu.xml Folder ownership sudo chown -R library-koha:library-koha /etc/koha/zebradb/etc gedit /etc/koha/sites/library/zebra-biblios.cfg add line at the bottom of the file, index: icu.idx Restart zebra server sudo su koha-restart-zebra library Rebuild zebra index sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v library Turn Off Home → Administration > System Preferences > Searching > QueryFuzzy -- Vimal Kumar V.
