Since the upgrade, searching for books, both from the old database and recently entered, in both the staff client and the opac yields only books in the reservoir in the staff section.  

First thing to try is to make sure you have the zebra daemon running:

sudo /etc/init.d/koha-common stop
sudo /etc/init.d/koha-common start

See if that helps.

How are you rebuilding zebra? The way to do it with packages is:

sudo koha-rebuild-zebra --full -v cathlib

If you don't do it this way, you may get permission issues. If you
already have permission issues, let us know and we'll show you how to
fix them.

> When I investigated the path all the files seemed to be there, but the /usr/ bin/ zebraidx file is, according to gedit, “corrupted”.  Is that the problem?  What should be in it?  Can I remove it and download a single replacement file? What would the commands be?

gedit can't open this file as it's not a text file, it's a program, and
so gedit just throws up its hands and gives up.

No, that's safe to ignore as it won't do anything, harmful or otherwise.

There's a reasonable chance that this info will get you going, if not
paste the output of things here (including the commands you used) and
we'll take another look.
