Search Problem
I have just shifted my Links SQL installation over to a new server and everything works well except the search function.

I have setup the search weights like I had done in the past, I am using the INTERNAL index structure and made sure I clicked on rebuild search to re-index the database.

However when I search for words that I know are there, for example, in a custom field labelled 'brand' I get a "no matches found" result. The search box can be found at www.indigoclothing.com

I have checked and repaired the tables in MySQL but still no luck.

TIA

Alex

Did you run the followin via SSH;

cd /path/to/your/admin
perl nph-index.cgi --reindex

This is required, so it can rebuild your search keywords :)

Andy,

Thanks for the prompt reply (as usual Wink) but I don't have SSH or telnet access - can this be done any other way?

Thanks
Alex

Mmmm... I'm not sure. If you have my Cron_Manager, will it setup a cronjob ok?

Something like;

Code:
0 5 * * * * perl /full/path/to/admin/nph-index.cgi --reindex

Cheers

Hmm,

Don't have your cron manager but there is a cron manager in Cpanel which I use.

The cron job ran fine as the output was:

Started at Tue Apr 27 11:16:00 2004.
Reindexing Links SQL Database ...
82 links.
Done!
Reindexing Category Database ... 34 categories.
Done!
All Done (0.01 s)

However my probelm still persists - v.bizzare!

Very odd. I would suggest contacting GT about this, because although it doesn't look like a bug as such, it may be something simple that they have seen a few times before :)
