Hello,

yes i change it and reindex the page. i have now three search fields
1) title
2) description
3) keywords (new)

makes it some difference to insert the keywords direct via css importfile or access,.. ?

you made sure the Links.def file was resync'd with the current file.

You then re-indexed the entire database

then tried to search?

That should work. That's how it's done.

Go to the table editor, change the 'index weight' to something other than zero, and make sure you tick the box on the far left before updating it - that should make the change 'stick' :)

Then try a re-index ...

All the best

Did you set the permissions on your admin/defs directory to 777 so links can rewrite the files?

Did you check the boxes, add the weights, and press 'update' ? (_NOT_ resync?)

DON'T RESYNC AFTER YOU MAKE THE CHANGES!!

Resync sets everything back to default!

Just 'update' then RE-INDEX, and you'll be good to go.
