[Koha] Arabic Language Index/Search in 3.22 & 16.05

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Jesse,

is it possible you changed something in order to index 880 that got lost
in in the update? 880 is not indexed by default atm I think, but
probably should still be searchable in keyword search.

Is there any warning on the systme information tab of the about page?

Hope this helps,

Katrin
