[Koha] Problem with searching....

I have set up a koha system and entered a number of books in it.  That 
is I have entered some biblio data and assigned a barcode etc.

However, whenever I try to search for an item nothing ever shows up.

Both the search function through the catalogue section of the main 
system and the opac system fail to return items.

If I search the OPAC and I know there should be a match, I get taken to 
a results page (cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=) (note no data after 
the bib=) which has headings but no actual data.

If I search the OPAC for something that is not in the db, I get taken to 
a different page, where I am told:

"

You searched on **containsxxxxx*. 0 results found

  No results found.

Sorry, there were no results

"

Where I searched for xxxxx.

Hmmmm.

It looks like the "No results found" case has html generated from 
opac-search.pl where the "results" page is generated by opac-detail.pl 
after a redirect from opac-search.pl.

Any clues?

Alex
