[Koha] Catalog searches working with Keyword search but not with Title and Author in Koha 3

[Ricardo Dias Marques]

Hi list,

Like I said in previous posts, I'm running Koha in a Xen virtual
machine running Linux (openSUSE 10.3), Apache 2.2.4 and MySQL 5.0.45.

I'm running the Koha 3 developer snapshot that was available yesterday
(28-May-2008). The Koha database version is 3.00.00.086.

I'm using UNIMARC. I have disabled Zebra, by setting the "NoZebra"
System Preference to ON. I have also set the "singleBranchMode" System
Preference to ON.

The bibliographic records were inserted in Koha by running the
bulkmarcimport.pl script "through" an ISO file (that contained about
9000 bibliographic records of articles):

# /root/Koha/misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -c UNIMARC -file
/root/myfile.iso


My problem is that only "Keyword" searches in the Catalog are working
(and NOT searches in other fields, like in the Title or in the Author
fields).


For instance, in the OPAC search page -
http://hostname/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl - I'm searching for
"networks" (without the quotes).
I'm leaving the "Keyword" option as the dropdown option selected (for
the first of the 3 dropdown lists that appear), writing "networks"
(without the quotes) in the text box at its right and clicking in the
"OK" blue button at the bottom of the page.

I then get redirected to the search results page that has the following URL:

http://hostname/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=networks&idx=kw&idx=kw&sort_by=relevance&do=OK

This search returns 154 results:

_______________

"kw,wrdl: networks" returned 154 results
_______________



Many of these search results have the word "networks" in its Title (as
it would be expected), for instance:

HOWEVER, if I do a Title search by "networks", I get NO results (that
is the problem):

http://hosname/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=ti&q=networks&idx=kw&idx=kw&sort_by=relevance&do=OK

No Result found !

No results match your search for "ti,wrdl: networks" in Catalog.

I get the following errors in the /var/log/koha/koha-opac-error_log
log file for this search for "networks":

The behavior of searches in the "Intranet" area is the same: catalog
searches work with Keyword, but not with Title (or Author, for that
matter):
_______________

No results found

No results match your search for 'ti,wrdl: networks'.

This search for "networks" in the Title field in the "Intranet"
creates the following entry in the /var/log/koha/koha-error_log log
file:

I have run the Perl script rebuild_nozebra.pl but the results are the
same. This is the output of the rebuild_nozebra.pl :

Does anyone have any hint that may help me solve this problem? Do I
need to provide more information? Have I missed doing any important
step?

Thanks in advance.
