[Koha] Search / index problem, help... ?

[Sonia P.]

Many thanks for your help!
Clearing the zebra indexes fixed the problem (but then I couldn't restart zebra, which took lots of IRC support to solve).

Cheers,

Sonia.

Have you tried clearing the zebra indexes first and then rebuild the index?
For clearing the zebra index:# Zebra Indexes
   $ zebraidx -c /etc/koha/zebradb/zebra-biblios.cfg -g iso2709 -d biblios init
   $ zebraidx -c /etc/koha/zebradb/zebra-authorities.cfg -g iso2709 -d authorities init
(It is possible your zebra-biblios.cfg and zebra-authorities.cfg live somwhere else, the above location is where mine are)
After that, restart zebra and re-index. (rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w)
I hope this helps. I have had similar issues after loading a database from a different library to test. If I do not
 clear the zebra index, anything from the previous library will cause errors.

Thanks all for your help.

So I have searched in the biblioitem database as well (biblionumber and biblioitemnumber), and these two numbers (which cause errors)
 doesn't exist.  I don't get it... 
As for the <instancename>, I don't think we run multiple instances of Koha on the same server (why would we?).  I have tried a few command lines like that, and it didn't change anything.

I don't know what the problem is.  I don't know why these biblios would cause any problem if they have been deleted.  What can I do?

Cheers,

Sonia.
