[Koha] Search not working

[i.pratt at zigzagee.com]

Katrin,

This was my problem. Search wasn't working because there was some
  confusion between UNIMARC & MARC21 during the installation. The
  option to choose the flavour is presented with the koha-create $instance &
  koha 1st time web installation.

Regards,
Ian
