db import / search problems
I made a new install of 2.05 and imported a backup of my 2.03 data

Now I have the situation that searches by "query" don´t show the right results.
"query" seems to search only the regular fields, not my customized fields.

When I go to 2.05 Admin>SQL-Server-Settings and change the database to the 2.03 db
I can run searches using query and get results of the customized fields.

There must be something because of the import that I cannot search the cusomized fields by query. But I can search the customized fields using the field name, for example ?query=&Country=Russia This works, but ?query=Russia not!

Any idea?

Hi,

If you go to Database->Links->Properties, do your custom columns show up? If not, click on Resync Database, and you should be ok.

Cheers,

Alex,

the custom columns are shown complete. I runned resync, repair tables and rebuild search, without result.

Query-search only search in standard columns.


I´m very sure that after importing the 2.03db the query search worked. I tested it while creating a special-search-form. When I finished my template customization I added a new category and some new links for this category.
I think after this work the query search stopped searching the customn columns.

Did you put a "weight" in the fields you wanted searched before re-indexing but after resyncing? THat's the only thing I see missing from your description above.

Pugdog,

I did not manipulate the entries. I mentioned before, I imported the data from 2.03 and made some customizations, also I created a special search form with some range searches (using -lt and -gt) for customized columns.

I´m absolutely sure that the query search worked! I tried if people can search for Moscow with mos and Mos, I played around a lot to have a good search-form with many options.
When I saw that everything seems to be ok, I switched from 2.03 to the new 2.05 install and used it for my project and continued working. I added new category with some new records in this category.

Later I saw that query-search does not work longer.

Hi Alex,

I still have the problems with query-search and hidden checkbox-values in modify template.

There must be connection with importing 2.03db into 2.05 and after that adding new records. Maybe something is corrupted.

Is there a way to check or repair db.

(Repair tables and Rebuild search did not help)

Alex,

hope you can help me. Without query search the script is running only in the 1st gear.
