Koha changes : to = because Zebra uses = to separate indexes from search terms, but this is problematic, because it transforms all colons. For instance, "title : subtitle" will become "title = subtitle" and that will cause a Zebra error. Here's the bug removed: buildQuery eb6b10f8 (Chris Nighswonger 2010-02-01 23:18:09 -0500 1768) # $query =~ s/:/=/g; Here's the bug re-introduced. getRecords 08c15831 (Joe Atzberger 2009-07-08 15:27:45 -0500 381) $query_to_use =~ s/\:/\=/g; # change : to = last minute (FIXME)
Since Zebra is on the outs, I'd say this could probably be marked as RESOLVED WON'T FIX...
(In reply to David Cook from comment #1) > Since Zebra is on the outs, I'd say this could probably be marked as > RESOLVED WON'T FIX... I am not sure we can say that Zebra is on the outs. I believe it still has its place in a lot of installations. By default, Koha installs with Zebra.
