Built-in Search Displaying No Results

[Matthew Montgomery <Ma...@Sun.COM>]

Hi all,

I am currently trying to troubleshot a problem with the built-in  
search on an internal instance of Roller. This is a based on a fairly  
recent snapshot of the 4.0 dev code and is the same base that  
blogs.sun.com is running on, though blogs.sun.com doesn't use the  
built-in search. Essentially, no results are ever returned. Search is  
enabled in the configuration file and I see new files in the  
configured search index directory. I have attempted to manually  
reindex a particular blog but still no results. I see no errors in  
roller.log or the webserver log file during these events.

I haven't worked with the built-in search before, so any pointers on  
where to start debugging are very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for the pointers Dave. I will add in this property and see how  
it goes.

Hi Matt,

Couple of things to try. First, set DEBUG logging for search by adding
this to your roller-custom.properties override file.

   log4j.category.org.apache.roller.weblogger.business.search=DEBUG

Stop your server, delete (or hide) your log files and restart. Watch
what happens on startup. Does the search engine attempt to re-index?
Does it succeed? What happens when you publish a new entry, do you see
DEBUG output of the index operation?

It's possible that your search index has somehow become corrupted.
Often this can be resolved by simply deleting the search-index
directory (i.e. the one specified by the 'search.index.dir' property)
and allowing Roller to re-create it.

Hope that helps...

- Dave
