Hi folks, I'm testing a new Koha 3.0 installation downloaded with git from the repository. I've got most things working now, but there is one major problem. The initial search results in both the OPAC and Staff Client show "No items" for all records. But when I look at the full record in either client, I see the items that I've created. What do I need to do to get the item status indexed and showing up in search results? If I've missed something in the documentation, please feel free to point me to it. Thanks for any help.

For some reason, that information is not being loaded into the index. Updating the index with the rebuild_nozebra.pl script does not fix it. The index data is updated whenever you call the perl ModItem function (found in Items.pm, IIRC). When I was faced with the same problem, I created a simple script that went through for each item and performed some sort of trivial change (getting the lost status of the item from the database, for example, and changing the item's lost status to equal that same value, triggering the function but not altering the data) --Michael W -----Original Message----- From: koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz [mailto:koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of John Houser Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 1:50 PM To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] Item status display wrong Hi folks, I'm testing a new Koha 3.0 installation downloaded with git from the repository.

Hi, I'm not using 3.0 yet, so I might be out in left field, but it sounds like maybe an essential field might be missing from your records. If you try updating a record with Michael's method, and compare the marc it generated with a sample of the marc generated with rebuild_zebra, that might tell you what it is. I know I've had problems with 090 missing, although on dev_week, IIRC, that prevents records from being uploaded entirely when using bulkmarcimport.

Cindy and Chris, Thank you for your suggestions. As it turned out, reindexing with "rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r" solved the problem, but not until I realized that Zebra was running into a resource limitation and edited the zebra-biblios.cfg file with the following settings: register: /root/koha-dev/var/lib/zebradb/biblios/register:6G shadow: /root/koha-dev/var/lib/zebradb/biblios/shadow:6G I am indexing 250,000 records in this test system.
