Hi,
that's what I've been trying to explain:
The MARC flavor you choose in the web installer will determine which
sample data is loaded, including the MARC frameworks.
The indexing configuration is determined by how the instance was created
when using 'sudo koha-create'. It defaults to MARC21, but can be set to
UNIMARC using the option: --marcflavor flavor
If you have a mismatch between those settings, meaning one is MARC21 and
the other was UNIMARC, that would explain the issues you see with
indexing, search, links etc.
I believe the easiest solution would be to create a new instance and
import your database there if that is the root of your problems.
Hope this helps,
Katrin

Hello,
"But:

configuration might be wrong."
I'm pretty sure I chose MARC21 during the web installation, and I can see what
my indexing configuration looks like though I wouldn't be able to tell if
there's something wrong with it. I'd appreciate any advice on correcting it as
i tis.
Now that I'm back at work, I can go through the same process I did with the old
laptop instance and see if I can replicate the solution. Any corrections to the
indexing configuration I would do to the work server instance.
Best regards

Hi,
you should not *need* to have 001 set to biblionumber in a MARC21 installation
to make things searchable, although it doesn't hurt if you want to link
records, which is one reason why you can do it. But:
UNIMARC expects the biblionumber in 001, I think. I keep wondering if your
indexing configuration might be wrong.
If you don't search for keyword, but select title or author as search option -
do you find what you are looking for?
Checking the koha-conf.xml for the URLs to indexing configuration would help to
show if I am right or wrong.
Hope this helps,
Katrin

Sucess!! I did some digging into the global settings for "controlnumber" to see
if I'd missed any preferences when I reinstalled this instance, and it turned out that I
needed to set the following:
UseControlNumber to Use record control number ($w subfields) and control number
(001) for linking of bibliographic records.
under "Display", and
autoControlNumber Control Number (001) is generated as biblionumber
under "Record structure".
I can now see the record by adding the appropriate biblionumber at the end of
the URL, which was my workaround, but also by searching for the title, which I
wanted to do.
(But I also remember reading something about this not being a good
choice if you have serials and if you are planning to catalog
articles. I will need to leave this for some other time though, after
I've added this year's records - the number is low enough that I can
redo them in Koha - and finally received and prepared the export from
the old system that I will then need to import.)
Next step is trying to find a way to have a cover show up in the coverflow
plugin, because it's not getting picked up by Google. I assume I will have to
dig into how to upload my own cover that can be used for all the locally
published or old books that Google doesn't have.

.... and when I create a new record, there is no 001. It doesn't exist, and I
don't know how to add it from here. Why doesn't it appear for manual
cataloging, and it's there when I import a record???....
Make sure 001 is visible in the editor for the framework you are using (Administration
> Catalog > MARC bibliographic framework > [the framework you are using] - for
visibility, make sure Editor is ticked).
I'm not a cataloguer, so I don't have an answer for your question, .....
Maybe the Library of Congress info for MARC21 001 will help (or
not...) https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd001.html
