When I had the issue I while back, I needed to install some windows features which I got from the blog post.
Hi Surjit,
Installing WCF services seems to have solved some of the issues on production but not in my local environment, for some reason. The search is no longer showing 0 results but it's pretty inconsistent in what content it includes.
It did solve my problem however and I will keep investigating :)
EDIT: Site content hadn't been re-indexed in years (!), which made it not find any content created after that point. Re-indexing fixed it.
I'm a bit stumped as to why my EpiServer.Search is always returning 0 results.
It's occuring in the
method in the EpiServer.Search SearchHandler class.
I'm calling this method from here, and this is where I get 0 results
All the parameters seem to be getting the correct values but I always end up with 0 hits despite there being pages that should match the query string.
Let me know what more info I need to provide, I'm an episerver noob!
EDIT:
Just discovered a new error in the logs:
ERROR EPiServer.Search.Internal.RequestHandler: Could not get search results for uri ..
