At this point I can go into either the OPAC or ADMIN client and successfully search. BUT once I execute any rebuild_zebra.pl command (all finish without any errors) upon searching the search results show the number of items returned but each item shows "Availability: No copies available". I have used many permutations of the rebuild_zebra.pl command. The one that seems to be recommended most is " /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -v -r -a -b -x ". If I edit an existing marc record I can see that volume until I run the rebuild_zebra.pl command again. I have been returning to this problem on an off for the better part of a year. I have gone to the extent of verifying any number of problems raised in the koha lists (such as making sure that there are no duplicate Field 001 values in the db) and would appreciate any help.
A couple of thoughts (off-the-wall, and certainly may not reflect the general usage of Koha, only some in-house "experiences" over the last couple of years.)
"Items available" depends on a numerous data points (damaged status, not for loan, use restrictions at least.) Is the search that is "failing" along the lines of 'opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=lubbock&limit=available' -- note the '&limit=available'? One of my "to do" jobs is to remove the "Availability // limit to currently available items" option from the OPAC page as we are a reference, not lending, library and clicking on "Availability" systematically brings items down to "No results found!" (See e.g. <http://opac.navalmarinearchive.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=lubbock>.)
I also remember at some point that we had problems using the -a and -x together for rebuild_zebra.pl (but can't remember why or find any notes.) We now "rebuild" in two stages: first 'rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v -x', then 'rebuild_zebra.pl -a -r -v'
