OJS-2.4.7.1 Search not returning results

Software Support
1

I have a couple of journal that were upgraded to OJS-2.4.7.1.
The search function is not working. I even did a copy an paste of a word that existed in an article.
No results found.
I do have journals where the search is working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Edward

Hi @EdwardDavid,

Are you searching for strings that appear within the article full-text, or within the metadata?

If you’re expecting full-text contents to be indexed but they’re not, check your config.inc.php for the proper configuration of text extraction tools in the [search] section.

You can regenerate both types of search index by running the re-indexing tool:

php tools/rebuildSearchIndex.php

Hi @asmecher,
I had taken a word out of one of the article titles that was somewhat unique to search on and was coming back blank.

I ran the rebuildSearchIndex here is the output. Do I need to be concerned?
I am getting search results now.

Hi @EdwardDavid,

Those messages are coming from the text extraction tools, not OJS; I’d suggest verifying that those work on the PDF files directly.

Hi @asmecher,
Not familiar with the text extraction tools. Where are they? How do you use them?

Thanks,
Edward

Hi @EdwardDavid,

That’s whatever you’ve configured in the [search] section of your config.inc.php, as mentioned above.
