[opencms-dev] Search question

I solved it! Well, sort of, it's a mystery. I wonder if I made some
mistake in the configs. I thought the info might be useful to some,
so here it goes:
1) What worked:
Searching in Workplace/Admin/SearchMgmt worked just fine
2) What did not work:
Searching in templateone and using /alkacon-documentation/
examples_search/
In the search example under the Alcacon Docs my index does not work,
but other indexes work fine.
3) What was the trick:
When I copied the search examples folder to my site, either none or
all of the indexes worked.
I tried this while logged into the workplace:
None worked when I selected location "/sites/MySite".
All worked when I selected location "/".
This does PARTLY apply also to the original search demo in
/sites/default/alkacon-documentation/examples_search/
More precisely
a) Selecting the location has no effect on the original search index
for the online project
b) Selecting the "/" location makes my search index work
This is REALLY weird.
4) Workaround
Edit any search page you want to use and set the SiteRoot as "/"
temporarily just for the search duration. Code for templateone is
enclosed below.
5) Comments. I read the source code for quite a while and there seems
ti be NO reason why this should be different from setting the search
root as "/". But it is. I did not read the all code in
CmsSearchIndex.search() since it was too much 'lucene' stuff and I
did not have time. If you have any clue what is going on, please do
let me know.
Just as a note, I have the following sites setup in opecms-
system.xml, and they do work just fine
<sites>
<workplace-server>http://opencms.myserver.com</workplace-server>
<default-uri>/sites/MySite/</default-uri>
<site server="http://opencms.myserver.com" uri="/sites/
default/"/>
<site server="http://www.myserver.com" uri="/sites/MySite/"/>
</sites>
6) Modification of templateone
This will enable templateone searching in custom sites, but will
disable searching in microsites.
Edit the following file and make the changes listed below
/system/modules/org.opencms.frontend.templateone/pages/search.html
Best of luck, let me know what you think. It's really a mystery to me...
