[Koha] Curious searching problem with zebra

[Chris Cormack]

Chopping and off the beginning would mean you couldn't search for any phrase or collection of words that starts with and. Editing the ccl.properties file and changing buildquery is a much more robust solution and doesn't actually result in reduced functionality. 

I would accept a patch for that, if anyone wants to send one, otherwise ill try to work on one next week. I don't think one that drops words out that the user is trying to search is one that would be accepted, at least not into 3.4. I can't speak for chris nighswonger the 3.2 maintainer, only myself as 3.4.

If you want to work through making a patch you can find me, or others who can help you on irc (irc.katipo.co.nz #koha)
