[Koha] Searching in Arabic

[Jesse Lambertson]

Zeno,

Grazie for the information you sent.

I do, however, have one more question regarding this:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/How_to_add_new_zebra_index

It was posted by someone who was also in need of adding non-default index
fields to the list.

Does anyone know anything about the steps as suggested there or do we
really need to rework the whole thing because of the Arabic and the
linkages to their respective fields?

Shukran, grazie, Danke and merci...

Jesse
