[Koha] Search not working

[Katrin]

Hi Vanda,

when using UNIMARC you will have to choose it in 2 places, maybe one was 
missed?

Before the instance is created, you need to tell Koha that it will be 
using UNIMARC. You can do so by changing ZEBRA_MARC_FORMAT="marc21" in 
/etc/koha/koha-sites.conf to "unimarc". This will affect the indexing 
configuration and can be the cause of why your search might not work, 
when the records itself look correct.

Then, when running the web installer, you also need to make sure UNIMARC 
is selected there. This will affect which cataloguing frameworks (MARC 
field and subfield definitions) are installed.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
