Hi Aaeda

How did you build your index?

Can you show some code how did you add documents to index?

Thanks,

Alex

Hello Alex

In developer's section 'Examine Management', there is a button 'Rebuild index'. But nothing happens after doing that. To add the custom index, I have modified the ExamineIndex and ExamineSettings files as follows:

**ExamineIndex

*ExamineSettings

        <add name="ContenSearchIndexer" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoContentIndexer, UmbracoExamine"
  supportUnpublished="false"
  supportProtected="true"
  interval="10"
  analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"
  indexSet="ContentSearch"/>

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

  <add name="InternalMemberSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine"
       analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net" enableLeadingWildcard="true"/>

       <add name="ContentSearchSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine" analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net" indexSet="ContentSearch" enableLeadingWildcards="true"/>

</providers>

Is there something else that should be done?

Thanks Regards A

Hi Aaeda

It looks like you need to add IndexSet to 'ExamineIndex.config', for example:

<IndexSet SetName="InternalIndexSet" IndexPath="~/App_Data/TEMP/ExamineIndexes/Internal/"/>

The most import part of this section is that the IndexSet' property matches your index name that was defined in the ExamineIndexProviders.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Aaeda

Did you find out what is the issue?

Thanks

Alex

Hello Alex

Yes I added this (please see below). It seems the code i copied got cut off. But it is still not indexing.

<IndexSet SetName="ContentSearch" IndexPath="~/App_Data/ExamineIndexes/MySearch/"> <IndexAttributeFields> <add Name="id" /> <add Name="nodeName"/> <add Name="parentID"/> <add Name="updateDate" /> <add Name="writerName" /> <add Name="nodeTypeAlias" /> </IndexAttributeFields> <IndexUserFields> <add Name="villasType"/> <add Name="Floors"/> <add Name="noOfBedrooms"/> <add Name="priceRange"/> <add Name="plotSize"/> </IndexUserFields> <IncludeNodeTypes> <add Name="VillasResale" /> </IncludeNodeTypes> </IndexSet>

Hi Aaeda

Can you check access your site to "~/App_Data/ExamineIndexes/MySearch" folder?

Do you have some errors in log?

Thanks,

Alex

Hello Alex

Please see blow the files that are in the folder. There are no error messages in the logs.

Thanks Aaeda

Hi

It looks like index was created, but why you can't find any results.

Did you insert right fields to index?

By the way, index files are really small, looks like data isn't right for indexing, do you have huge site?

Thanks,

Alex

Aaeeda,

Can you try publishing just one item of type VillasResale then goto examine dashboard and see if it ends up in the index.

Regards

Ismail

Also verify naming convention

IndexSet - in ExamineIndex.config need has IndexSet suffix like MySearchIndexSet

Searcher - in ExamineSettings.config need has Searcher suffix like MySearchSearcher

Indexer- in ExamineSettings.config need has Indexer suffix like MySearchIndexer

thanks everyone for the replies. I will try the solutions mentioned and keep you informed.

Thanks Aaeda

hello

@Alex: I have checked all the fields and they are correct. I even tried with only one field, but when I click on the 'Rebuild index' button in Examine Management, it just loads and stops and the values remains 0 for all files. The website is not that huge.

@Ismail: I have tried publishing one item type as suggested but still nothing.

@Yakov: The naming convention seems to be fine too.

Regards Aaeda

Can you share ExamineIndex.config and ExamineSettings.config ?

If you remove IncludeNodeTypes section it's also display 0 documents ?

Hi Aaeda

Really strange, maybe something with Umbraco installation?

What version of Umbraco? What about other Examine indexes? Are they working?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex

Yes its very weird. The umbraco version is 7.2.5. Yes the other indexes are working for example InternalIndex or ExternalIndex.

@Yakov: Please find below the config files. Yes it still display 0 documents even if I remove IncludeNodeTypes.

<IndexSet SetName="ContentSearch" IndexPath="~/App_Data/ExamineIndexes/MySearch/">
<IndexAttributeFields>
  <add Name="id" />
  <add Name="nodeName"/>
  <add Name="parentID"/>
  <add Name="updateDate" />
  <add Name="writerName" />
  <add Name="nodeTypeAlias" />
</IndexAttributeFields>
<IndexUserFields>
  <add Name="villasType"/>
  <add Name="floors"/>
  <add Name="noOfBedrooms"/>
  <add Name="priceRange"/>
  <add Name="plotSize"/>
</IndexUserFields>

ExamineSettings:

<Examine>

  <add name="InternalMemberIndexer" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoMemberIndexer, UmbracoExamine"
       supportUnpublished="true"
       supportProtected="true"
       analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"/>

    <!-- default external indexer, which excludes protected and unpublished pages-->
    <add name="ExternalIndexer" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoContentIndexer, UmbracoExamine"/>

        <add name="ContenSearchIndexer" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoContentIndexer, UmbracoExamine"
  supportUnpublished="false"
  supportProtected="true"
  interval="10"
  analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"
  indexSet="ContentSearch"/>

</providers>

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

  <add name="InternalMemberSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine"
       analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net" enableLeadingWildcard="true"/>

       <add name="ContentSearchSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine" analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net" indexSet="ContentSearch" enableLeadingWildcards="true"/>

</providers>

I still think that it name convetion

Should Be

<IndexSet SetName="ContentSearchIndexSet" IndexPath="~/App_Data/ExamineIndexes/MySearch/">

Indexer:

    <add name="ContentSearchIndexer" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoContentIndexer, UmbracoExamine"
      supportUnpublished="false"
      supportProtected="true"
      interval="10"
      analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"
/>

Searcher:

  <add name="ContentSearchSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine" analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer, Lucene.Net" enableLeadingWildcards="true"/>

Hello Everyone

It finally worked. I deleted the index and add it again from scratch. It now seems to be indexing correctly.

Thanks Regards Aaeda

Hi Aaeda

Did you find any difference with config files that you had before?

Any thoughts why it didn't work?

Thanks,

Alex
