Thanks for the info, Greg!
Bjørn Lie got in touch with me yesterday and was very helpful as well. He gave me the name of the package maintainer, provided a link to a Zebra update he’d already prepared (I think he’d done updates for Zebra in the past as well), and encouraged me to report the bug!
At this point, the package maintainer (Karl Eichwalder) has accepted the update request, and forwarded it on to maintenance! I’m not 100% sure where things go from now… I imagine QA then inclusion in a maintenance release of some kind, so that’s a really positive outcome.
I didn’t realize that my Bugzilla login would work at build.opensuse.org as well, so that’s good to know! Maybe I’ll contribute more down the road if anything comes up!

Subject: Re: [opensuse] RE: Bug Report Zebra 2.0.60 in favour of Zebra 2.0.59 (package idzebra-2.0)
On Monday, February 9, 2015,
Hi OpenSuse folks:
This is my first time interacting with OpenSuse in any way, so I'm not entirely sure how to go about it.
Basically, last week I discovered a bug in Indexdata's search engine Zebra (package name idzebra-2.0). I filed the bug with Indexdata, and they released a fix as part of their 2.0.60 release of idzebra-2.0.
At the moment, we're using OpenSuse 13.2 and version 2.0.59 of idzebra-2.0, which we installed using Zypper.
I'm wondering what the process would be for filing a bug report to either upgrade the packages in the package repo for OpenSuse 13.2 or whether it would be possible to backport the patch.
A colleague of mine at a different company recently opened a bug with Debian (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777515) which has all the relevant information. Basically, tokenization doesn't work correctly in Zebra 2.0.59 when using ICU indexing. Only the first token would be used after the search terms were tokenized when a hyphen existed in a search term.
Indexdata only packages Zebra for Debian, Ubuntu, and Redhat, so ideally we'd like to use the packages available via the OpenSuse repos rather than building from source.
Please let me know what I need to do. Thanks!

(Just found this in my drafts) Welcome to openSUSE! See https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports And https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_reporting_FAQ Also, openSUSE is extremely welcoming to contributors, so if you have the technical skills, you can use your bugzilla login to also login to build.opensuse.org and prepare an update to the development version of the package yourself. You do the preparation in your home project, then submit it to the development project. A maintainer will review your work and either accept it or provide feedback about what you need to correct before it accepted.
