lucene search doesn't return correct results

Alfresco 1.4.0 / MS SQLServer

I have done a full repository export from Alfresco 1.4.0 using Oracle db.

I then imported only the following files into a brand new 1.4.0 installation using MS SQLServer.
Files imported:

export_systeminfo.xml
export_system.acp
export_versions.acp
export_spaces.acp

I am having a problem with Lucene queries.

I am checking the queries logging in as the admin user and by using the node browser.

A query that works ok in the original system (i.e. lists all spaces contained in a given space) does not work in the new installation…

I think that lucene indexes are not being regenerated correctly but am not sure where to look to check that.

I have forced regeneration of indexes at startup by setting index.recovery.mode=FULL and I can see the message on the console saying that indexes are being regenerated.

What else should I try?

It's probably not the answer you're after, but I would suggest investigating the possibility of upgrading to a more recent release of Alfresco.  Alfresco 1.4 is almost 2 years old now!   :shock:

Cheers,

thanks, upgrade is planned

the problem we are facing right now is the actual impossibility to export and then successfully import the whole repository because of this weird problem

is there any way of forcing a full lucene reindexing other than changing the setting I quoted above?

cheers
