When running the search indexer on my Windows server, as it indexes the images in the asset manager it opens every single one of them with the Windows Image and Fax Viewer, and stops processing files until that window is closed.

In addition, I don't believe it's indexing all of the content of my pages within the site. Is there some configuration of the system that needs to be done beyond selecting the asset classes to limit the search to?

I've selected the Article, Collaboration, Folder and Layout asset classes, and have the Search Root set at "Home".

Even after running the search.pl script, there are some pages/articles that aren't being returned, even though they do contain the search keyword.

Thanks-

Jarrod

That first one sounds like a bug. Why it's doing that I have no idea.

The second one... Look in the database, the assetIndex table, look up the assetId of the asset you know has the keyword you're looking for and attach that to a post please? I believe I've seen this behavior, but have never been able to reproduce reliably.

The word in question here is 'lutein'. When I search the site for it, I get zero returns.

Attached is the record from the assetIndex table for the asset I know contains the keyword.

Please take a look in your config file for searchIndexerPlugins and report back with what that is set to. That will likely explain why your fax program is opening. As for the second problem, I don't know what version of WebGUI you are on, but I think it's still the old 7.0 version, which had some problems with the search engine. Those have been fixed if you upgrade to 7.3 and reindex.

SearchIndexerPlugins settings:

    "searchIndexerPlugins" : {
        "doc" : "/data/wre/prereqs/utils/bin/catdoc",
        "pdf" : "/data/wre/prereqs/utils/bin/pdf2txt",
        "readme" : "/bin/cat",
        "txt" : "/bin/cat",
        "html" : "/bin/cat",
        "xls" : "/data/wre/prereqs/utils/bin/xls2csv",
        "htm" : "/bin/cat",
        "ppt" : "/data/wre/prereqs/utils/bin/catppt",
        "rtf" : "/data/wre/prereqs/utils/bin/catdoc"
    },

This site is currently running 7.3.10, and I've re-indexed since upgrading.

Ok. I need you to get rid of the plugins in that section. None of those are available on windows. It should look like this:

"searchIndexerPlugins" : {}

So even when you do:

perl search.pl --conf=your.conf --search=lutein

You get no results back?

Plugins deleted. Interestingly, after restarting the services and running the indexer again the graphics files still open in the Windows viewer....AND all of the PDF files open in Acrobat Reader (which they didn't do before.)


C:\data\WebGUI\sbin>perl search.pl --conf=new.kemin.com.conf --search=lutein
7nS0Gaw0LoihE8rVgYmJRg  FloraGLO Lutein (copy)

Search took 0.003767 seconds.

C:\data\WebGUI\sbin>

That particular asset is one that I copied and pasted yesterday to save for future use, so the Spectre workflow apparently caught it and indexed it. The original is still on the site, and didn't turn up in the search results, either before or after the re-index mentioned above.

This is definitely a bug. Please report it.

I don't know why, but for some reason our indexer is triggering the default application associations in windows as it goes about its indexing. My guess is that the reason your other content isn't showing up is also related to it being on Windows. So we need to have someone dig into search on windows and resolve all search related problems.
