[Koha] searching with z3950/sru: no matches

[Andy Boze]

Hi, Sebastian.

We use Gemeinsamer Bibliotheksverbund via Z39.50 in Koha successfully, 
so I can share our configuration with you. You'll find the Z3950/SRU 
configuration in the staff client at Administration › Z39.50/SRU servers.

Server name: Gemeinsamer Bibliotheksverbund (or whatever you want)
Hostname: z3950.gbv.de
Port: 210
Database: gvk
Syntax: MARC21/USMARC
Encoding: utf8
Record type: Bibliographic

If those are the settings you're using, then perhaps someone else will 
have an idea.

Andy
