[Koha] Search of Non-Latin records

[Mohamed zalabany]

you didn't under stand me i am not selling my development code to you or marketing it here
we can search with Arabic character without the development i'am talking about this development give us more advantage to search withe and processing hamzah and (al) and another character 
but you can search with Arabic language and get result without any addition thing to the system 
you can try the way in this article

I thought this is a OpenSource community and people are sharing their experiences to improve the usability of Koha. We did install ICU with Developer guys and the results was the same unless you have come with something they do not. We are in Iraq and there is no Banking system to be able to pay anyone as state owned university. I appreciate if you guide us so we can fix this issue with our system,

i confirm the search in Arabic is working well 
and we developed the system to manipulate the special cases in Arabic also but we offer it with charge 
i think you didn't install the ICU properly
