[Koha-devel] Re: Hi, some koha help please

[Stephen Hedges]

Adam, I'm going to copy this message to the Koha developers list, since I
think you have found a possible bug in Koha.

I believe I have seen at least one other message like yours, and had
thought it was a Windows problem.  I see now, however, that selecting "no
marc" for 2.2.3 does not load the marc_word table (of course), yet the
searches look for matches in the marc_word table -- so they would never
work!  At least that's what it looks like to me.
