lorisuth Search not giving results 13 Dec 8 2010, 7:12 PM EST by justinwacnj

The wiki in question is: alktech.wetpaint.com

I'm guessing my wiki hasn't been indexed recently or needs to be re-indexed. A page titled "Film collection DVDs" was created on Nov. 11 (http://alktech.wetpaint.com/page/Film+collection+DVDs), with a link on this page (http://alktech.wetpaint.com/page/DVD%2FVHS) and included "film collection" as part of the keywords.

But when I search for "film collection" (without quotes) I get this:http://alktech.wetpaint.com/search/everything/film%20collection?contains=film%20collection

Nothing showing that page from Nov. 11. Any help would be appreciated, as our department does use this for work and we rely heavily on the search function. I don't know what else might not be showing up. I realize there's usually a short delay between creating a page and it displaying in search, but 3+ weeks is unacceptable.

dmaink Search keeps yielding "no results" 9 Mar 14 2010, 9:25 AM EDT by Anonymous

I have several pages with the name "Alexander" in the title and some with it in the text. But searching Alexander yields "no results." The same for everything else I search. Is it a glitch with sites that are redirected to custom domains, or how can I get search to work? Thanks for your help!

UPDATE:
It seems this has been a problem for a long time now:

The search my wiki box returns no results when there are instances of that word in pages, tags and body copy. Anyone know why?

The search box does not work at all on my site. No matter how well a query matches one of my pages, no results are returned in the search.
My wiki is lcclocal.wetpaint.com, and I am using Ubuntu 7.04 with Firefox 2.

Please be patient while we fix our search indexing in the next couple of days. After our next release, our search index will (hopefully) not be experiencing these problems.

I typed the exact page name and it returned nothing.

When searching from the search bar above my content box, the search does not find pages with title words i just created. This will not be useful if I cannot perform these types of searches.

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.17 on Mac OS X 10.4.11
