Hi Ian,

Looks like you are calling the same IndexSet in the ExamineIndex.config

<IndexSet SetName="IntranetRootIndexSet" IndexPath="~/App_Data/TEMP/ExamineIndexes/ForumArticles/">

The best way to make add indexes in your config would be by applying a naming convention such as

[yournam]IndexSet
[yourname]Indexer
[yourname]IndexSearcher

Hope this will help

Ah!  I completely missed that.  Thanks Fuji!

I'll make the change and see if the errors disappear.  Thanks.

I've amended my ExamineIndex.config file, fixing the issue Fuji identified and this has stopped one of the error messages appearing in umbracoLog, but the InternalMember error is still occuring:

  [UmbracoExamine] Error indexing queue items,Root element is missing., IndexSet: InternalMemberIndexSet

My Examine config and settings files are below.  Can anyone tell me what the error message is indicating?

Ian,

Why are you using this provider here for? Looks like you didnt add any Analyser to it

 <add name="PDFSearcher"
      type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine" />

Hi Fuji,

I've checked the umbracoLog this morning and my two errors are still occuring.  So correcting the ExamineIndex.config hasn't resolved my problem unfortunately:

[UmbracoExamine] Error indexing queue items,Root element is missing., IndexSet: InternalIndexSet
[UmbracoExamine] Error indexing queue items,Root element is missing., IndexSet: InternalMemberIndexSet

The PDFSearver is used for indexing the contents of PDF documents.  It has been working but I just tried commenting the PDFSearcher, PDFIndexer and PDFIndexSet out for now to see if it stopped the errors appearing but it doesn't appear to.  When I publish an item in the backoffice, these two UmbracoExamine errors appear.

I don't remember altering either of these index sets, and I don't understand what the error messages are trying to tell me.  Any idea?

Can anyone help me out here?  Any suggestions would be welcome.

I'm using Umbraco version 4.7.1 and whenever I publish an item in the back office, I see the two errors:

UmbracoExamine] Error indexing queue items,Root element is missing., IndexSet: InternalIndexSet
[UmbracoExamine] Error indexing queue items,Root element is missing., IndexSet: InternalMemberIndexSet

is working on a reply...
