[opencms-dev] What's wrong with this search script?

[Joe Desbonnet]

I made some progress on my search problem. I had look at the
difference in some of the variables in CmsSearchIndex.search() method
when called from Site="/" and Site="JHL" (JHL is my website name). The
one that seems to make a difference is 'finalQuery'. The search
keyword is "test":

When run as Site="/"
finalQuery=+root:"root at o.c" +(meta:test content:test)
hitCount=2

When run as Site="JHL" (ie the website)
finalQuery=+root:"root at o.c sites at o.c JHL at o.c" +(meta:test content:test)
hitCount=0

So I commented out this line in CmsSearchIndex.java (approx line 583):
  pathQuery.add(phrase, false, false);
(ie remove any path restrictions in the query)

... and everything works perfectly!!

So it's something related to VFS paths. I assume that the path in the
indexsource element in opencms-search.xml is a full VFS path, and the
site root specified in the search script is relative to the website
root (?). This must be a configuration mistake on my part, but I've
followed the manual to the letter as far as I can tell.

Joe.
