I'm just testing retrieval of records in non-latin scripts at the
moment, (a site which has holdings in Russian, Arabic and Chinese as
well as Spanish, English and French). What I recommend is applying the
patch for this bug
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7698

Upgrade the koha-installation selecting icu as the tokenizing method for
zebra. Rebuild the zebra indexes and you should be able to retrieve the
records. 
Patch is in master but should apply on earlier Koha versions.

Hope that helps
Colin
