Missing articles in eZFind

Friday 12 March 2010 3:27:50 pm

We are having a problem with certain articles missing from our search results and am wondering if someone else has experienced this. When I do an exact phrase search on the article title it does not come back. I have checked the every attribute against other articles that do come back but cannot find any differences or patterns.

Additionally, this problem only occurs on the front end for non-logged in users. When I search from the admin interface while logged in as administrator the article in question always comes back. This led me to believe it could be a permissions problem but there are no differences in permissions between articles that come back and those that don't.

Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas to help troubleshoot?

Dan,

I suggest that you:

• Enable debug output on the siteaccess that doesn't return all the objects
• Run the query
• Find the eZ Find debug output that shows the solr query
• Execute that query manually in your solr backoffice (http://host:8983/solr/admin)

From now on, you can start removing parts of the query, little bit by little bit. You will sooner or later see what criteria prevents the expected results from showing.

I realize this is a bit technical, but this is what I'd have done ;)
