Re: search not displaying results

The initial content system does not trigger building of the search index, but the first time you do a search it will detect that the index does not exist yet and assuming file system permissions are correct it will then create it and start indexing the entire site. It is not instantaneous, but within a little while it should work. If you don't see any files under /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/index or if it fails to create the folder it means permissions are not correct.

Re: search not displaying results

thanks for that joe, i added the showbutton thing to the user config and it showed up on the main site, but not the child sites.

do i only need to run it on the main site or go into every child site and run it? it doesnt seem to be doing it automatically, can you tell me what file permissions the folders need?

Re: search not displaying results

also strange issue, the search goes to the main site for results, and it doubles up the child folder, eg mainsite.com/childsite/childsite/thepagewithmatches.aspx

anything im doing wrong?

Re: search not displaying results

The /App_Data and /Data folders need to be completely writable by the user that is the identity on the application pool so it can create folders and files. Permissions must be configured to propagate to all child objects so that newly created objects have the same permissions.

The index files will be created at /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/index if the permissions are correct, if not it will fail.

I am not able to reproduce the problem with the duplicated child folder, sometimes things like that may happen if you are using the IIS url-rwriter module you may have some rule there that causes the problem.

Hope it helps,

Joe
