The only suggestions I would have would be to check the Zebra and Koha error
logs to make sure the search is happening correctly. The Koha search tool is
very verbose and should print out the exact query it is sending on to Zebra.

Do other kinds of searches still work? (You probably checked this, but in
case a syntax error sneaked into one of those files, it would be good to
verify).
