[Koha] Search problems

[Layale Bassil]

Hello All,

I tried to apply the below fix, but everytime I execute the zebra rebuild function, I get the following error:

"11:14:23-13/02 zebraidx(2157) [warn] default.idx:13: Failed to load ICU chain words-icu.xml"

Any suggestions of what might be wrong? Your help is very much appreciated.
Regards.

Hi Katrin,

thank’s a lot! This solved my problem. Apparently, the only thing that was necessary was to switch to yaz-icu and to modify zebradb/etc/default.idx accordingly. I did not create a transliteration table. 

Thank you very much again!
