[Koha] Restarting Indexing -- Maybe Reindexing Altogether

[Charles Kelley]

Hello, Rainer!

    Thanks for responding.

    I ran the command

#koha-zebra -status

    but the shell reported nothing. In my limited understanding of Linux,
this means there was nothing to run, but the executable is on the system.
That said, we are running ElasticSearch instead of Zebra. Does that matter?

    Many thanks.
