Search Bar not working after rebuilding search index.

[William K.]

Hello,

 

I have an issue with my search bar and I need your help.

I recently upgraded a 1.4 site to 1.6 and today I realised that some articles weren't showing when I was typing in the search bar even if they must have.

I did some change in the BO search tab and after some time decided to rebuild the index. After some time, the rebuilding ended with a succes message, but the results were even more poor than before. I did it all over again and now I can't seem to have any results at all.

Do you have any idea why this is happening, how can I troubleshoot this and also how can I go back to my previous index ? (I do have severals backups of the entire site and BD but don't know how this is stored)

 

Thanks in advance.
