[opencms-dev] Is the search module usable at all?

[Volker Goetz]

Hello,

first any apologizes if anything below sounds a bit rude. I am *really* 
frustrated now as I have read nearly every posting on search questions in 
this mailing list and on some forums. It seems that never ever had anyone 
been able to describe the steps beeing necessary to get the search working 
nor has anyone ever successfully manged to setup the search module in a 
multisite environment (without fiddling around in java sources?).

To describe my setup:

I have a new site /sites/MySite with a an accompanied project 'MySite'.

I have set up a new search source in the Administration view, containing 
all available document types and with /sites/MySite as path.

I have set up two search indices in the Administration view using the newly 
created search source, the one index is on the online project, the other 
on the new 'MySite' project.

I recreated the indices.

Seraching in either of the indices from the Administration view works as 
expected. But I can view the documents from the search result only when I 
select '/' as the project in the workplace.

In a jsp page in my site MySite, I loop through all available search 
indices using the same hardcoded search string for all iterations. None of 
the indices yield any result.

So far for now. I have given up, the search module in its current state is 
just useless for me.

PS: Almost everything else works just as expected, at least after some 
try'n'error cycles.
