[Koha] Ordinary Search into catalog

[Frances Sandeman]

Hi Leonardo,

I share your frustrations as we too have had the same problem with Koha.

One reason why this may be happening could be "diacritics" in the record
that you downloaded.  eg. accents above an author's name, apostrophes, 
etc.  If your koha isn't set up
to be able to recognise and interpret these diacritics then the 
downloaded record
will contaminate others.  We have the same problem with the word Geology 
because
I downloaded a record that had Diacritics in it and it also contained 
the word Geology
so I can't retrieve any records if I just type in Geology as part of the 
title.

Our IT person is running a test koha database and has managed to fix 
this problem on the
test version.

As staged records can't be deleted from the reservoir, you may need to 
get someone with
the technical know how to "roll back" the downloaded record that's 
causing the problem, meaning
to go back in time and restore the reservoir to what it was prior to 
downloading the record

I hope this makes sense to you!
