I did a bit of searching and didn't see this directly addressed, so I figured I'd post it here. We have just completed migrating our catalog to Koha and while a majority of our records work perfectly well, a few are not coming up in search queries. What is odd about this is that all of them imported successfully and appear to be indexed by Zebra. We can access them and edit the MARC records. I can even access them directly via URL. For example, we have a book titled "We Stand Together," available here: http://koha.lru.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=33179 This was imported along with a few thousand other records, most of which work, but many of which don't. Yet though it is accessible directly (and, interestingly, it does appear in the shelf-browser), it does not come up in the OPAC search either by title, keyword, author, or subject search, etc. I've compared the MARCs of ones that work with ones that don't and see no appreciable difference. Any thoughts on the nature of the problem? Thanks! Chris Morrison Bertha Smith Library Luther Rice Seminary and University Lithonia, GA 30038
Chris,
We can access them and edit the MARC records. I can even access them directly via URL. For example, we have a book titled "We Stand Together," available here:
http://koha.lru.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=33179
Such requests are not going via Zebra but directly to the database. It looks like there is a problem with your zebra rebuild process, some of the records are not indexed. Thanks, Savitra Sirohi Nucsoft OSS Labs http://www.osslabs.biz 2009/10/2 Chris Morrison <cmm1005@gmail.com>:

Same problem for me: 7/5000 records remain unindexed. zebraqueue.done field is 0, no traces in zebra logs. After manually modifications, the records remain unindexed. Still investigating. Stefano Chris Morrison writes:

We have noticed that in both bulk imports and day to day cataloguing, Zebra will occasionally ignore a record for no reason we can see. Our solution has been to schedule a full zebra reindex overnight, from cron. So far, this seems to have mopped up all the ones the original indexing skipped. Agnes Chris Morrison wrote:
