<h2>Zebra or Nozebra ?</h2>
- <p>Searching Koha's bibliographic and authorities databases can be acomplished in two ways:
- Koha can utilize a textual index engine (Zebra) or use its own internal indexing scheme (NoZebra).
- </p>
- <p>You can change your selection after installation and re-index accordingly.</p>
- <h3>Zebra</h3>
+ <p>Koha comes in 2 flavours : Zebra and NoZebra. You will now decide the version you need</p>
+ <p>some directions to help you choose:</p>
+ <h3>Zebra version</h3>
<ul>
- <li>Is highly scalable (can scale to tens of millions of bibliographic records. Examples of
- Zebra Koha installations include:
- http://catalog.ccfls.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl or
- http://www.mediathequeouestprovence.fr/)
- </li>
- <li>Native support for Z39.50 and SRU servers for bibliographic and authoritiy data</li>
- <li>Support for field-weighting, relevance ranking, truncation, stemming</li>
- <li>Arbitrarily complex queries</li>
- <li>Can be complex to configure and maintain</li>
+ <li>is highly scalable (can support easily more than 300 000 items on a public library with an OPAC widely accessed on the web : see http://catalog.ccfls.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl or http://www.mediathequeouestprovence.fr/)<li>
+ <li>provide a public (external) z3950 server</li>
+ <li>is complex to configure and administrate</li>
</ul>
- <h3>NoZebra (internal Koha indexes)</h3>
+ <h3>NoZebra version</h3>
<ul>
- <li>Simple to configure and maintain</li>
- <li>Hasn't been tested with data sets larger than 100,000 records</li>
- <li>Does not provide a public (external) z3950 server</li>
+ <li>is available immediatly once Koha is installed</li>
+ <li>is probably not that speedy for catalogue with more than 100 000 items</li>
+ <li>does not provide a public (external) z3950 server</li>
</ul>
- <p>Note that, if you choose "Zebra", you must configure Zebra before your catalogue searching will work)</p>
- <h3>Please Choose:</h3>
+ <p>Whatever you choose now, you can always change your mind and setup the other version.</p>
+ <p>Note that, if you choose "Zebra", you won't have a working koha, you must set up zebra first (catalogue search won't work, the rest will)</p>
+ <h3>What do you choose ?</h3>
