[Koha] Adding search options to drop-down menu

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Fred,

if we are talking about Zebra, this might help:

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/MRenvoize/zebra

I'd try and test if searching with mesh:... works in the keyword search. 
If it doesn't something might be missing from your index configuration, 
like adding it to the list of indexes in Search.pm.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
