Advanced Search - documents are not found

compaqnx7300 — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:13:03 GMT

What sort of queries are you using?

Some examples may help in understanding your issue.

For example:
Searching document in "Advanced search" by file name: image2011-07-08-085245.pdf
does not find document.

Query executed in Node browser:
Search Language:   lucene
Search:   @cm\:name:'image2011-07-08-085245.pdf'
does not find document.

But in Node browser query:
Search Language:   selectnodes
Search:   /app:company_home/cm:CompanyData/cm:Invoices/*[@cm:name='image2011-07-08-085245.pdf']
find the document.

Document is visible in webclient, but advanced search is not able to find it by any of its property (cm:name, sys:node-dbid, …).

Hi

If you can not find the node via any lucene search, then it sounds like you have an issue with your index.
(SelectNodes evaluates against the DB)

Step 1: Stop Alfresco server
Step 2: Delete content of %ALFRESCO_HOME%/alf_data/lucene-indexes

Step 3: Edit the property file: %ALRESCO_HOME%/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties
or %ALRESCO_HOME%/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco-global.properties

Set the property index.recovery.mode:


    # The index recovery mode (NONE, VALIDATE, AUTO, FULL)
    index.recovery.mode=FULL
‍‍‍‍

Step 4: Start Alfresco server

After successful server start set index.recovery.mode back to VALIDATE, AUTO or NONE.

Hi

Does your search work if you quote it?
Are you searching for the full file name?
Does adding a wildcard help?
Does any query (e.g. on metadata or content) find the document?

Thre are some oddities with the lucene standard analyser for things that look like dates, product ids, etc, etc
