I know what you mean, and I totally agree about Koha not using Zebra to its strengths.
That said, Zebra does have some annoying limitations, although I have thought how some of those could be worked around by wrapping Zebra with another program (or even writing features and upstreaming them. I’d just need to brush up on my C skills).

I would say it's time to start thinking about alternatives/further encourage the adoption of elastic search and clean up the search code in general. I still have a, perhaps misguided, fondness for zebra. I'm not sure Koha has always used it to its strengths and it certainly has its own issues.. but it is significantly lighter weight to run and has a place as a genuine alternative to the rather heavy elasticsearch.. I'd love to see a lightweight option replace zebra as an option one day but I don't think it's a priority quit yet..might be worth some experimenting though given its dwindling support higher up the river.

The latest Ubuntu package is for 18.04 (Bionic): http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/ubuntu/ In fact, Zebra hasn’t been updated since August 2018 according to the changelog: https://software.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/NEWS. In Debian, it looks like Debian 11 Bullseye will have the latest Zebra (2.1.4), so there is that at least. I guess people using Debian 10 Buster will either need to use the buggy Zebra (2.0.59) in Debian or maybe use the Stretch packages from Indexdata. But then from Bullseye onwards there will be the latest Zebra until Debian drops the package I guess. All the more reason to move more to Elasticsearch?
