Search in File Manager not working

Vote:
 
The file manager works, but i can not search. When selecting, for example, "Search locations: Documents (/SomeSite/Documents/)" and click "Search" I get the following error message: "VirtualPathProvider 'SiteDocuments', Search Error: C:\Inetpub\CMSAssets\Documents\index not a directory" I tried different configurations in web.config but with no success. Help would be appreciated! /Jonas

I've just installed a testsite with the public templates. When I try the search funticon i get the same error but for a different folder:

C:\EPiServer\VPP\MyEPiServerSite\Global\index not a directory

The public templates uses

SearchDataSource.SearchLocations = "~/Global/,~/Documents/,~/PageFiles/";

But something is clearly wrong.

Hi

To be able to search in the file system the we use the EPiServer indexing service. The indexing service will create a folder called index where it will store a few files with the indexed data. It's that folder that seems to be missing.

So, my guess is that EPiServers indexing service is not configured for those folders. Check the file *Program Files*\EPiServer\Shared\Services\Indexing Service\EPiServer.IndexingService.exe.config (the location might vary depending on version of EPiServer CMS).

The section episerver.indexingService\indexes should contain registrations for the different folders. A registration should be on this form:

<add connectionString="Data Source=.\sqlexpress;Database=myDB;User Id=username;Password=password;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;" databaseClient="" filePath="C:\Inetpub\CMSAssets\Documents\index " itemRoot="/Documents" />

I played around a bit and it seems that you have to stop and restart the indexing service before it starts indexing new content for another site.

I did try restart the service but ended up with no result. Is there something else that may be bothering the service?

Eric: Are you not getting the service to start indexing, or did it index but is returning no results?
