NoZebra mode is at a severe disadvantage in terms of featureset, performance, scalability, extensibility and basically everything (except ease of installation). I would not recommend that anyone who wants their feature to be used by even modestly sized libraries should develop it for NoZebra mode.

Chad, Neat! Always glad to have people volunteer to help make Koha better. When you say "improve" and "enhance" the search, what are your specific goals? Faster retrieval time? More complex search options (nested Booleans, more search fields, regex-style wildcards, etc.)? More relevant rel

Koha uses two methods of searching in the OPAC, and in general. The first is through third party open source package from IndexData called Zebra. The second is NoZebra mode. My opinion is that applying your algorithm to the NoZebra mode would be the easiest option here. Unless you want to also

If we want to get super-fancy, we could set up a Wave server, and condense the IRC, mailing lists and blog/wiki/twitter presence into one communications tool. Then, all the community's knowledgebase would be in one format, distributable by Git along with the source code, and easily searchable/l

Nahuel, I understand. The intent is to help the developers develop, the users use, and everyone get more out of Koha. As we get more and more users, and more and more of them use IRC for questions, it's going to get harder and harder to have developer-type discussions in the main channel. H
