[Koha] New Indexes in OPAC

[Melissa Lefebvre]

Thank you to all who posted suggestions.  Apparently the problem was syntax
in that I included a space between the words in the name of the index I was
creating (which I thought wouldn't matter) and once we replaced that space
with a hyphen in all the files, and re-indexed the new search worked in the
OPAC like a charm.

Thank you,
Melissa

This sounds like the correct steps to me, can you provide us with
copies of the files so we can verify the syntax is correct?

Also, are you 100% sure that you edited the files that Zebra is using
in your installation, which may or may not be the same as the files as
they exist in the Koha repository?
