Hi there Pasi,

I may well be wrong, but I believe you might find points of interest in the

Subject: [Koha] Zebra and search for accented letters

Hello,

We have a bit of a problem with Zebra and searching for accented letters.
The Finnish alphabet has 'å', 'ä' and 'ö'[1], but the search does not
distinguish between those and the non-accented versions. So, for example,
searching for "rölli" returns "rolling stones" before "rölli". Is there any
way we can make Zebra consider those three letters separate from the base
letters?

I've created /etc/koha/zebradb/etc/word-phrase-utf.chr that has the extra
three letters in the lowercase and uppercase -definitions, and removes them
from the equivalent and map -sets. Restarting and reindexing has no effect
on searching.

I've also created /etc/koha/zebradb/lang_defs/fi/sort-string-utf.chr that
does the same thing.

The /etc/koha/sites/*/zebra*.cfg -files point to the correct chr files.


[1] a-ring, a-diaeresis, o-diaeresis. These are actual separate letters at
the end of the alphabet, and cannot be lumped in with a and o.
