Hi,

When i do a search it returns no resoults. Forum search works just fine.

Indexer.php gives me folowing error:

Hi Uros,

The global search is currently an experimental feature i.e. it requires additional testing and bug-fixing. Please see the tracker report MDL-8074. You may wish to watch and/or vote for it to be fixed.

Hi Uros

I got charge of renewing the Global Search subproject for definitve integration in 1.9.

There is actually a revamping of the initial project commited within the CVS, completing the code for >1.8.1+ versions. This new pack for global search should be tested on late August, with a group of french moodle fellows.

This version will complete correct internationalisation and fixes many details that where based on <1.7 code structure. It adds indexation of physical documents in an known format set.

We still have to validate that new version. If you feel somewhat adventurous, may you try also to run this brand renewed implementation (keeps most parts of older anyway) and send me reports. I tried it successfully on a 1.8.1, where I got it developped, but only with a few documents. I shall experiment in September a huge pre-indexing tryout on my production site, with thousand of documents and articles. All information about what you need is given in readmes. (such as additional libraries and middlewares).

Cheers.

I noticed the same thing... I think it is due to indexing failing...

(IE)  /moodle/search/tests/index.php

Fatal error: Call to a member function MoveNext() on a non-object in /home/tbshsweb/public_html/moodle/search/documents/resource_document.php on line 55
