[Koha] Please Help: Authority Search - Not returning Result. Zebra Index Picks up 4 Authority Records

[Susan Mustafa]

Hi,

Actually that is the the issue in my case.  This bug is fixed on my version
of Koha, since in the code, I only see "Heading", not "Main Heading".


I am really unsure of what to do? For some reason, it is not picking up from
the database.  The biblios work, but the Authorities don't...why? I don't
know.

The export from rebuild_zebra exports 4 records [Which is how many
authorities I have]


Hope someone can help me out with this,
