No search results? Possible fix...
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Let me describe the symptoms of my problem so you can see if they match yours...
1. Done everything mentioned onhttp://www.concrete5.org/documentation/general-topics/search/... and still no results from content
2. Only results appear to be from whole words in the URL of a page, not its content
3. Destination search page is setup correctly and simply shows URL-based results as in (2) or 'no results'
4. My content area is not called 'Main' or 'Main Content'.
Having become increasingly frustrated I resorted to searching the C5 directory for the string 'Main Content' which ocurred in 3 places, 2 of which are code, namely 'indexed_search.php' and 'database_indexed_search.php', both of which reside in the /concrete/libraries directory.
Lines 39 and 119 in indexed_search and database_indexed_search both create an array holding the values 'Main' and 'Main Content'. By adding my content area name to the database_indexed_search array and re-indexing the search from admin my search block now works.
Note it was only when I added it to the database_indexed_search as adding it to indexed_search still made no difference although you may find it needs to be in both files and it's at least consistent to do so. Note also I overrode both files by editing my own copies in /libraries.
Hope this helps others!

No idea how I missed that, it does appear in the search results for 'search' after all!
Anyway it's fixed twice now ;o) So if I missed your post maybe others did and now they have double the chance of getting a result!

Sure it could!
And it happens also for many other tips that one needs but that are hard to find.
The search engine here needs improvements.
Usually I use a combination of google hacks and the search on the forum here.
Bye.

yeah, the search engine could be improved still, but the docs section should be getting a lot better too in the coming months, with tagging, and links to relating posts etc
and i believe the search index was changed to a blacklist, so it doesn't index stuff like Header Nav
a search on the forum could have been a help and frustration-avoided. I solved the issue on 23 of february.
