[Koha] CKJ and Other Non-Roman Searching

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Charles,

by default Koha is not set up to search for records with non-Latin
scripts. You will need to activate ICU and rebuild your Zebra index. See:

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

Hope this helps,

Katrin
