[Koha] Z39.50 server problem

[Joe Atzberger]

Could be syntax, session encoding, output encoding, or just the type of
query used.

The Koha searching layer builds a very complex query to handle basic keyword
searches.  Ursa and Mark Jordan probably use simpler queries that leave out
certain fields, or certain truncation operators, etc..  You should be able
to see everything in your zebra log.
