I have backed up and restored alfresco 4 on my testbox and the search does no work properly. when i upload a new document and edit one of the fields and try to search for that value i do not get any results
I suspect that you did not backup/restore your indexes or that your indexes have been corrupted. Also be aware that if you are using Solr there is a delay between the time you upload the document and the time it can be found through search.
If you are running Lucene, either recover your index or do a full re-index.
Hi, I have the same problem and am using Solr. Advanced search, looking in the custom type, search for custom content type metadata: getting 0 results.
