Can anybody PLEASE Help - Search Problem

[firstforward]

Using Prestashop 1.4.7.0, my search has stopped, no error message just says cannot find item XXX.

 

Where do I start to sort this out? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have re-indexed the site, but no change.

Hi,

 

You need to check what you have got in search_index and search_word tables.

 

Best regards.

Further to your reply I have dropped the entire database and restored it to 3 different dates as far back as August (when I know it was working at that date), The restore goes perfectly but every time the search is the same.....not returning results, It is now restored back to today's date, should I delete the entire PS installation and restore that in the hope some files are corrupt?

I have noticed when I look at the SQL tables search_index and search_word, they are empty and DO NOT CONTAIN a shop_ID.

 

Any Ideas?
