I have some strange results from my mini search. Hardly any products are retrieved. Just a few. I've updated the index, cleared the cache manually, all that. I've had a look at catalogsearch_fulltext and it all seems to be there. And in the autocomplete dropdown I will see the correct number, for example if I type: "Frank" I will get "Frank Sinatra (7)" implying 7 results.
But alas, it will come back with only one. Or none, depending on the search.
I've also tried the different search options (like, fulltext, combined). Nothing seems to change the results coming back.
Where do I look next?
Any help would be seriously appreciated!
please check your attributes, see: catalog -> attributes -> manage attributes
select the tab searchable and filter it on yes.
Check these attributes and make sure they all have yes in "use in quick search" and "use in advanced search"
If you need more attributes to use in the search (maybe some you have created) find them, and do the same on those.
Reindex you catalog search index.
If this dosent help, wee need to know if there has been made changes in your magento installation.

I'm having a problem that just randomly occured, and I have no idea what caused this and how to fix it.
So I have a searchbox that is supposed to use my search settings. Here are my current search settings:
Settings
Settings 2
My problem is that even though I configure my searchbox to use this sites' search settings, it ignores it. Instead of using /results.aspx?u={searchboxQuery} as specified in the settings, it uses /results.aspx?k={searchboxQuery}
I'm also using a custom Result Source:
{searchboxQuery} Path:https://mypage/Pages
The searchbox works if you provide exact matches, but if you try to shorten a word, no result is displayed. The result query itself works correctly, displaying all the correct pages, but not with search queries.
Any help would be highly appreciated, it's quite an annoying problem
I remember running into this a while back. I ended up using a Search Results template from the Pages library (Publishing needs to be turned on. Trying to create the connections myself was too much of a headache.
I'm trying to do a wildcard search on Wikipedia but the search is not behaving the way the instructions say it should. Here's the advanced search help page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Advanced_search
As an example, it says this regarding a Wildcard search:
the query *stan will match Kazakhstan or Afghanistan or Stan Kenton.
However, when I attempt to do that search (or even click on the embedded link to that search), I only get
the page *stan does not exist
and it just lists a bunch of "Stan" entries starting with "Stan Laurel filmography."
Why would this feature not work? Am I missing something?
It does work, however because direct matches for "stan" are scored higher than words with it, Kazakhstan is waaaay down in results. You can try slightly narrowing the results with intitle:*stan however this is still bad. However, a quick check with k*stan shows that it works.
Conclusion: user-written help page has a bad example.
Would someone be willing to offer me some assistance with customizing the search results page and the search box web part properties.
First problem: Search Box Properties
When I add an additional query term (eg. fileextension="xml") the search runs as expected but the refinement panel dissapears on the search results page. I don't want it to dissapear! I just want certain filters to be pre-applied.
Second Problem: Search Results Page
How do I customize the way results are displayed. For instance, I would like to add different refinement options to the refinement panel. I would also like to change what information is displayed under each individual result. Currently it seems to show a summary of the content, followed by the author and sometimes the date. I'd like to change this. How???
Any help greatly appreciated.
The results part you need to update the XSLT, You can do this via one of the web part properties. You will also need to make sure that the fields you want to put in to the results are included in your columns(Also a web part property)
Check this out

Refinement options are based on Your crawled properties. Check this out

Not sure as to why your refinement panel is disappearing, Check to see if the URL changes dramatically when you add your fileextension="xml" to the web part property, it may be that this addition is changing the URL so much the refinement panel is loaded or can't load but don't hold me to this

I know there are threads out there about making changes to the refinement panel and they have so far been very helpful but now I have a question that I need a bit more assistance with.
I've created a new filter for the refinement panel. That worked very fine.
I can see the filter, when I perform a search.
But when I click on the new filter, all search results disappear and it just says: "We did not find any results for ".
I can see that the url gets my created filter attached:
results.aspx?...&r=filterfield%3D%22True%22
I have created a managed metadata property and added the field to the search results (search core results webpart).
What I'm doing wrong? Why it doesn't work?
Any hints?
Thanks for any help.
I found the reason. I forgot to start a full crawl after creating the managed metadata field.
I need to produce facet block from two vocabularies in my site. I am using Views and a patched version of Views infinite Scroll to generate the search page, using my search index, and I have tweaked everything I could in the facet display settings to see if I could produce the requested results, to no avail.
I do not need keyword searches. I need to show all taxonomy terms in each facets at all times and to be able to select a single criteria at a time from each vocabulary. So, never more thane one selection at a time from each facet block.
Why are you using Solr to store data and generate your search page, if you do not need keyword search and are trying to go against the native working of solr Facets, I hear you say? For performance reasons, it is the reason why I am using Solr to store & serve the results, I have even gone as far as pushing renedered node to the index with the help of the somwhat obscure search_api_solr_view_modes module.
I could take two separate routes
Create a custom block, load all the taxonomy terms, alter the output of the term link to point to the view and provide the TID for the View. The active filter data could be obtained from the view arguments. I know how to do that but feel it is the wrong way to go about it, if I am working with Solr, I should be using a facet, not a custom block.
Build a custom Facet block that has this exact behaviour. After reading a lot of documentation, I git kind of dicouraged with the possibility of doing this simply without having to develop a Facet plugin, which is kind of out of my league.
Any advice is appreciated.
Here is a screenshot of the interface I have to produce.

Each taxonomy term has to be persistent, i.e., produce a link event if there are no nodes indexed under this term.
Selecting a term in one of the vocabularies will deselect previously selected terms
Clicking on the x next to a term will remove it form the active search criterias.
Have a look at this. https://drupal.org/project/ajax_facets This might get you to where you need to be. Sans you infinite scroll. There is a youtube video that goes with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBj3OkXLyWs
I'd appreciate it if it works as I haven't tried it my self.
