Hi Stephan,

in order to search non latin scripts with Koha correctly you need to make sure 
that you are using ICU with Zebra. Then the search should work nicely. Some 
notes on how to activate ICU indexing can be found on the wiki - it should also 
work for Ukrainian:

Hope this helps,

Katrin

Betreff: [Koha] Search problems
 
Hi,

I am new to Koha. I basically just set-up a fresh Koha 3.14 installation on 
Ubuntu 13.10 using the Debian packages from http://debian.koha-community.org/

We are a small library with mostly Ukrainian books. We want to catalogue the 
books in original language (Ukrainian) and therefore in Cyrillic script. After 
testing Koha after cataloging the first couple of books I experienced the 
following problem when searching in the Opac:

Whenever I entered any arbitrary combination of Cyrillic characters (not even 
real words) in the search field Koha returned all records in the catalogue. 
Whether there was a match or not. 

If I did the same in Latin script the search only returned matching records 
only. 

Searching for authorities in the worked if I searched with the "is exactly" 
option.
If I had "starts with" or "contains" it worked only for search "in main entry", 
but not for search "in keyword" or "any heading".

Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

Regards,
  Stephan
