Search appears to be broken [Resolved]

[Mr. Odd]

Setup: Ubuntu 11.10, plenty of CPU and memory. Installation works fine - I can find everything from the library directly. Search, however, doesn't return anything for any entry. I've got into the control panel and forced an index rebuild but still nothing. Any suggestions?

I've got into the control panel and forced an index rebuild but still nothing.

I thought search update was done via settings/search - update search index
So what control panel are you referring to?
Does the log show any errors?

[Mr. Odd]

I'm referring to the Subsonic settings page (just habit calling it the 'control panel').

No errors in the log.

[BKKKPewsey]

No errors in the log.

Is there anything in log to show search index being created?
Last few lines should look like

Code: Select all

[01/01/12 06:17:23 GMT]   INFO   SearchService   Created search index with 80000 entries.
[01/01/12 06:17:34 GMT]   INFO   SearchService   Created search index with 81000 entries.
[01/01/12 06:17:50 GMT]   INFO   SearchService   Updating Lucene search index.
[01/01/12 06:18:12 GMT]   INFO   SearchService   Created search index with 81521 entries.

[Mr. Odd]

No, actually. The last line is:
[1/1/12 3:43:53 AM EST] INFO SearchService Created search index with 62000 entries

With no further entries. Any ideas why?

[BKKKPewsey]

It looks like the search indexer is stopping before updating the Lucene database.
Check your java memory allocation and possibly up it.
You could also try deleting the sub-directories in the subsonic\lucene directories and re-building index (may have a corrupt db there)

[Mr. Odd]

Yup, it was the java memory allocation. I doubled it and all's well. Thanks!
