How do you re-index Zebra?  Are your cron jobs working properly and 
regularly?  Do you do a complete re-index (manually) from time to time?

As an aside, we have found that using the "library catalogue" search (not 
'title', nor 'author') and just putting in a couple of keywords from the 
title and the author's surname works remarkably well...
