Re: [Koha] How to make the Koha/Zebra search ignore hyphens?

Hi Michael, That's really interesting. I assume that you're using ICU indexing? You could update "phrases-icu.xml" and "words-icu.xml" to strip out hyphens. You would need to re-index all your records afterwards though. I haven't actually tested that particular change, but just taking a little

[Koha] How to make the Koha/Zebra search ignore hyphens?

[Koha] Use of indicators in field 245

Hi fellow Koha users, Just a quick question. Can someone shed a light on the use of the indicators in field 245? Since our conversion to Koha we stopped using them, but data from previous systems has these indicators filled in. Upon inspection, in most cases the given value is even wrong someho
