[Koha] koha 3.2.1 search more than one word

Hello,

Yes we have the ICU enabled. Today we found a solution though. The problem
is solved when we we changed the default value "automatically" set for the
System Preferences / Searching Preference /  QueryAutoTruncate to "Only if *
is added" instead.

By the way, Zebra truncation support for non-English languages is a show
stopper; tell you the truth I look forward for the day when Koha switches
its Full-Text Search engine to Solr in place of Zebra. Walter McGinnis from
Katipo will tell you how Zebra poor handing of multi-lingual truncation had
made a big disadvantgae for Kete to be used by non-english content users
because of the lack of searching support in their native language. It surely
did for us.

Massoud M. AlShareef,
