Thanks for the response Simon. I was able to implement PDF search using your suggestion on one of my sites using Umbraco version 6.1.6 but I don't see it working on sites on version 4.11.10.

I even checked by installing the Examine Dashboard package but it gives error for version 4 Umbraco. I removed all my custom created indexers and searchers from config files but it still gives error for default configuration. Does version 4 requires any additional configuration settings?

The thing is I haven't added the UmbracoExamine.pdf related code to my 4 version sites. Infact i haven't done any examine related configuration yet. The site has the default configuration right now but I don't see the ExamineIndexes folder inside TEMP on physical path.

This shouldn't be the case right? This folder should be present under TEMP folder.

Check your ExamineIndex.config to see where they are being written to. There will be a path in there to indicate where you should be looking for the indexes.

Ah ok yes you should have indexes. try republishing xml cache then rebuild the indexes. I think for v4 you may need to install https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/examine-dashboard/ to help you do this please note v0.1 is for Umbraco 4.7.0 - v0.2 is for Umbraco 4.7.1

It indicates /App_Data/TEMP/ExamineIndexes, the same path I'm checking. Really strange that this folder is not getting created.

I already installed the package v1.0 since my Umbraco version is 4.11.10 but it gives error, screenshot below:

It says ~/App_Data/TEMP/ExamineIndexes/ which is the same location I'm searching in. Really strange that the folder is not getting created.

Can you take a look in your log file any errors there?

take a look at source code or download a zip of the old v4 umbraco you have. Then open the examine configs and compare with yours. You may need to update them.

Thanks for the response Ismail.

I compared both configs but everything is same. The problem, as I have already mentioned, is that the ExamineIndexes folder itself is not getting created. I have 6-7 websites with same Umbraco version and none of them have this folder and I have checked dashboard package on 3 websites resulting in same error on all.

Hi Ismail

Thanks for response. I downloaded the zip and compared all code files with my source code. Compared all configs as well but I don't see any relevant difference :(

This is getting really frustrating. The ExamineIndex folder is not being created on my physical path. This is happening for all five version 4 websites that I have. The error which I posted previously, as per my understanding, is because ExamineManager cannot find the index as they are never created.

The default Examine config settings indicate the path as App_Data/Temp/ExamineIndexes so I don't think there should be any other path. Still I searched the whole source code for a folder having examine keyword in its name but nothing comes up. Are you aware of any other alternatives for site search? My aim is to implement site search, approach doesn't matter.

Look what happened when I uninstalled the package :D

Anyways, I installed your package but got the same error. I believe you are asking me to check the Umbraco.config file in App_Data. If it is the one then yes, I can see that it is present for the website where I am trying to implement examine and with the datestamp of today. Its missing on other websites though.

There are no errors reported in UmbracoLog table in database. The only error I see is when I check server logs which I have already posted previously.
