[Koha] Please help this newbie :)

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Johan,

with the default configuration Koha won't search for records with 
non-latin characters correctly, but this can be fixed - you will have to 
switch to ICU for indexing. Instructions can be found on the wiki:

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ICU_chains_configuration

If it doesn't work at all, even for your German and English records, 
there might be another problem. Did you specify UNIMARC when creating 
the instance (defaults to MARC21)? Or only in the web installer? If the 
first was missed, your indexing configuration won't match your data 
which could also explain problems.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
