Search of Non-Latin records
Dear friends, Our catalog mainly consists of Armenian records, thus during the installation we have chosen to use ICU. Then, after importing some records, we have rebuilded the Zebra index. On the console it was written that 7 records were indexed. However, when we tried to search for imported records, nothing was retrieved. But the records are definitely imported, since they are visible in the Staged Records. Interestingly, even records in English are not being searched. In the previous versions of koha we were enabling ICU after the installation by several manual modfications, but now this does not work too. If we do in this way, Koha simply retrieves all existing records in Armenian which is of course wrong. So, it appears that regardless how we enable ICU (during the installation or aftewards), non-latin records are anyway not being indexed. Please, can someone provide us a step-by-step solution? This is essential for us. Thanks in advance, Araik.
Dear Araik, I think no Latin characters indexing and searching remain the major bottleneck of Koha. I can not imagine a library in the world with couple books in non Latin characters and I am not sure why the developer community has not been able to address this. We have many books in Arabic and Kurdish in our library and we have not been able to index them yet. We have tried to find a solution for 4 months now. We tried all possible direction we got and still when we look for book Koha will list all of the book with non Latin characters. I suggest integrating Google Search API in Koha might solve all the issue we have. DRR On 19 November 2012 11:59, Araik Manukyan <araik@flib.sci.am> wrote:

i confirm the search in Arabic is working well and we developed the system to manipulate the special cases in Arabic also but we offer it with charge i think you didn't install the ICU properly Mohamed El ZalabanyIntegrated library systems consultant Zalabany Knowledge Systems Team© For Libraries and Information systems Development and support mh_zalabany@hotmail.com Mobile: 0111291444

I thought this is a OpenSource community and people are sharing their experiences to improve the usability of Koha. We did install ICU with Developer guys and the results was the same unless you have come with something they do not. We are in Iraq and there is no Banking system to be able to pay anyone as state owned university. I appreciate if you guide us so we can fix this issue with our system, http://library.koyauniversity.org/ Thanks On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 3:59 PM, Mohamed zalabany <mh_zalabany@hotmail.com>wrote:

you didn't under stand me i am not selling my development code to you or marketing it here we can search with Arabic character without the development i'am talking about this development give us more advantage to search withe and processing hamzah and (al) and another character but you can search with Arabic language and get result without any addition thing to the system you can try the way in this article http://arkoha.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/blog-post_26.html Mohamed El ZalabanyIntegrated library systems consultant Zalabany Knowledge Systems Team© For Libraries and Information systems Development and support mh_zalabany@hotmail.com Mobile: 0111291444 From: admin@mhe-krg.org Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:33:18 +0300 Subject: Re: [Koha] Search of Non-Latin records To: mh_zalabany@hotmail.com CC: araik@flib.sci.am; koha@lists.katipo.co.nz I thought this is a OpenSource community and people are sharing their experiences to improve the usability of Koha.
