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
Hi Michael,
I'm glad that I got you a bit further on your journey. It's a shame about
having to use the CHR indexing. You can find more information here at

After reading through that, I'm thinking perhaps that CHR indexing can
Hi Michael,
Your experience suggests to me that you're using Zebra 2.0.59 (which is the
package available in the official Debian repositories). There is a bug in that
version which causes hyphens to cause an incorrect truncation so that

Hi Katrin,
I actually did create a transliterate rule which was able to convert the input
from "Sinti-Swing" to "SintiSwing Sinti Swing" which created "sintiswing",
"sinti", and "swing" as tokens. However, I think the ICU chain file gets used
for both indexing and searching, so while it would
Hi Alvaro,
I'm sure the folk at Theke would be able to provide a solid recommendation
(https://theke.io/).
I mostly support English libraries and they use the CHR (ie charmap

Arabic use ICU (ie icuchain words-icu.xml)
Hi all,
Fred King's email about using Koha in a Protected Health network reminded me
of a question I wanted to pose around the world. Has anyone commissioned an
external independent security audit of Koha? That is to say, a security
audit from someone other than a Koha support vendor?

I think that you misunderstand the netstat output there.

I notice that you didn't answer Katrin's questions. Answering those questions

Recently, I've been re-thinking the scalability of Koha, so it's interesting to

Hi Michal,
I would say that the plugin system (like many plugin systems) is risky. As
Jonathan indicates, plugins are not reviewed by the Koha Community, so we can
make no guarantees regarding safety/security of individual plugins. Since the
plugins are third-party code, they could contain anyt
You would need to clarify what you mean by "docs management system".
If you're referring to a system as described by

Koha isn't a records management system nor is it a digital library.
Koha is an integrated library
Thanks, Mason!
I think Mason has released a newer version now 3.23+dfsg-1+koha1, which was
needed for newer versions of Ubuntu, which used newer versions of
libjson-validator-perl than 3.06.
So the fix now should just be:

The issue is that the coverflow plugin doesn't have a "tool" or "report"

Hi Lari,
It's a good question. I have the Chromium-based Edge, and it's what I use for

can't use Chrome/Firefox), and I haven't heard any complaints about Edge yet.

Hi Vinod,
I haven't played with the HTML5 Media in Koha, but I've been curious about it,
so I decided to take a look after reading your email.
Looking at the code, it appears that you can embed other videos and not just
Youtube videos. You'll need to use the system preferences HTML5MediaEnabled

Koha, at least as of 19.11, has the capacity to handle non-YouTube media. I

Hi Peter,
Without rewriting the Koha code, it's impossible to authority control 2
subfields in a field. There's a few reasons why.
First, there is only one "9" subfield available for the linkage to the
authority record.
Second, Koha is hard-coded to authority control only the "a" subfield. I

It's great to hear that you're trying to install Koha! However, if I were you,

I think that it is reasonable to expect some minimum requirements to be listed,

Personally, I tend to run many Koha instances on high powered servers with

I can't really speak to Elasticsearch with Koha, as I still just use Zebra. I

Thanks for reaching out.

If you have to use Centos7, you might consider using Docker to run Koha in a

Hi Mason,
Can you tell us what version of Zebra you're running? And what is your exact
query?
According to https://packages.debian.org/stretch/idzebra-2.0, you're
probably running Zebra 2.0.59, unless you're pulling packages from
Indexdata's APT repository.
I discovered a ICU bug in Zebra 2.0.
HI again, Mason,
I just remembered a little trick that you might find useful.
Try the following:

echo "PZ 7 .W663 1984" | yaz-icu -x -c /path/to/words-icu.xml
