I'm just testing retrieval of records in non-latin scripts at the moment, (a site which has holdings in Russian, Arabic and Chinese as well as Spanish, English and French). What I recommend is applying the patch for this bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7698
Upgrade the koha-installation selecting icu as the tokenizing method for zebra. Rebuild the zebra indexes and you should be able to retrieve the records. Patch is in master but should apply on earlier Koha versions.
