Does the site search really work?

Permalink
I have found that the site search sometimes works and sometimes doesn't and I'm not sure why.

Just got this back from a client..

The site search is not producing results like it should. For example, if I type in “color coat technical data sheet” I would expect to get both the product page and the Technical Data Sheets page, but I presented with no results. It seems to be only searching phrases and not the individual words?

See for yourself athttp://go.agenity.com/sem.

Please advise.

One thing I have found with site search is, it does not search for hard coded items, only data that is added through the C5 editor, is any of the stuff you are searching for hard coded into a page?

Link is dead btw.

I'm sure you've considered this but since you don't mention it, is the 'Index Search Engine' job is getting run frequently?

If you're talking about running the index search on the scheduled jobs page.. I just did that and it's still not working. How do I tell if it's running frequently or not?

If you've just done that and it made no difference then it's not a factor. You can run it frequently via cron, but it should be up-to-date when run just once.

Anybody else on this? If it's not something that's 100% accurate all the time.. just say so and I'll find something else. I'm just trying to figure out if it's something I'm doing wrong.
