[Koha] Very, very multlingual resource library - any suggestions?

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi,

welcome to the community :)

If you are going to use Zebra, you will want to set it up to use ICU
from the beginning. It will enable you to search for non-latin characters.

You can find some notes about configuration here:

Another very multi-lingual library (BULAC) has also reported quite good
results using Elasticsearch for their collection at the last KohaCon:

Hope this helps,

Katrin
