Thank you for your responses. The design of the enhanced library search engine we would like to integrate with Koha can be found in the 2009 JASIST paper which was co-authored by several members of our team now. Here is the reference for that paper: Maria Soledad Pera, William Lund, and Yiu-Kai N

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.

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

I am part of a team of researchers in the Brigham Young University Computer Science department who are interested in improving the searching used by Koha's OPAC interface. Others on the team have come up with a fast and effective way to do searching using folksonomies and we are interested in addin
