Description Vinavi 2024-03-05 06:25:33 UTC
In the OPAC search function, If I search with an English title, the relevant books will display with the key word in red, by default 20 records per page. 

But if I search in sinhala title book, it will display wrong results though the book is there in the database. If I search for an unavailable book, without giving an error message, it display wrong search results. How to fix this issue?

Hi Vinavi,

if you are using Zebra and original scripts, you need to activate ICU for searching. This will most likely resolve your issue and make things work correctly. Please see in the wiki:
