Search Functionality should work OOTB in all the version community and EE.
Why do you think it is not working?
Also by default any one one of the indexing is enabled.

If you are trying from the search box you need not to have any query you can simply search for Beiträge word

Hi, thx for your reply

I also tried just typing the text, but no results.
For me it looks that searching is not enabled, or smething else
Does the search function really work out of the box ?

I really need to come to a solution soon, because our wiki is getting bigger and you dont have chance to find anything without search (

PLZ can somebody help me out

Hi,
enable lucene queries in alfresco-global.properties since SolR has some problems on Alfresco Community 4.0.d
Perform also a full reindex in order to make indexes up-to-date.

Regards,
Andrea

Hi abarisone !

Thx for your fast reply
i looked over my alfresco-global.properties under (..\tomcat\shared\classes) but didnt find something with lucene

just found this (Do i have to but this –> # in front regarding to Solr when i want to use Lucene)

### Solr indexing ###
index.subsystem.name=solr
dir.keystore=${dir.root}/keystore
solr.port.ssl=8444

How do i enable that lucene, can u guide me a bit ?
Also do not know how to "Perform also a full reindex in order to make indexes up-to-date."

Hi,
first of all modify the section you found like this

### Solr/Lucene indexing ###
index.subsystem.name=lucene
#dir.keystore=${dir.root}/keystore
#solr.port.ssl=8443‍‍‍‍

In order to perform a full reindex you have to

stop Alfresco

modify alfresco-global.properties adding the property index.recovery.mode=FULL

restart Alfresco in order to let the index being rebuilt

stop Alfresco again

modify alfresco-global.properties modifying the property index.recovery.mode=AUTO

start Alfresco

In this way the content you previously entered should become searchable.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

i just found the same step by step u send me and it worked for me ))
Thx. for ur help and the tipp with "Solr has Problems with the Community Version"

What i did is exactly the same u mentioned before.
I commented (with #) the Solr code in the Properties File.

Steps i did:

- Stop Alfresco Tomcat Service

- change alfresco-global.properties File like followed:

### Solr/Lucene indexing ###
#dir.keystore=${dir.root}/keystore
#solr.port.ssl=8443
index.subsystem.name=lucene
index.recovery.mode=FULL

- started Alfresco Tomcat Service. After starting Searching worked and then i removed the Solr Files and Folders like mentioned in this Link in Section 3 Point 7
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Solr_Demo_Script

- Then i put a # before index.recovery.mode=FULL

Thx a lot for your help
