Magento

{EDITED}

When I make a search on the frontend I get no results after upgrade from 1.1.8 to 1.2.01. It doesn’t matter if I even copy-paste the name of the product and run the search.

SLUTION:

1. Manually clear you chache:
In you FTP client go to var/cache and delete all the directories there

2. Rebuild Search Index
In your admin panel (backend) go to System > Cache Management and click on ‘Rebuild’ (next to ‘Search Index’)

THANKS OR EVERYONES HELP!

same problem here!

no search results after upgrating from 1.1.8 to 1.2.0.1.

maybe the problem is similar to: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/27238/

Need help Urgent!

Regards,

just found that the problem only happens in mini search.

on advanced search it works fine.

regards.

same problem for me too

seems to me that the attribute search is broken for me in the attribute admin panel.  Ie, i enter an attribute code, hit search, and the button does nothing.  on a related note i also cant seem to move an attribute from an unassigned status to a group. 

my guess is that the changes to accomodate mysql fulltext search have broken things - just a guess? 

obviously this is a show stopping problem - cant create new attributes, etc.

just attempted to reinstall 1.2.0.1 using “magento-core/Mage_All_Latest” command in the extension key field - some additional modules were downloaded and this *seems* to fix my issues with being unable to assign attributes and searches in the admin > attribute controller view

yeah - mini search still seems to be broken for me in 1.2.0.1

just to remember that this is a very urgent issue!

we can not stay without mini search function.

regards,

I also manualy deleted the cache folder before doing this test.

the rebuild button in the cache managment helped me solve this issue.

system -> cache managment -> rebuild (search index)

Thanks for trying and let us know.

Thanks!

Cleared the cache dir and rebuilt the search index and the mini search is now working!

regards,

I’m having the same problems woith the mini-search,
but also i get
“Fatal error: Call to a member function setAttribute() on a non-object in .\magento\app\code\core\Mage\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Abstract.php on line 351”
error message when trying to rebuild the search index in backend.
anyone else came across that?
another question: which cache Dir did you clean up? (’cause I found several ones...)
happy for any ideas..
regards!

Well, [SOLVED] in the topic applies for the setups not having the setAttribute() error when rebuilding the search index.
Issue #9841 was entered about 2 days ago on the subject:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking/issue?issue=4631

Let’s hope this error can be fixed quick, this is really annoying.

the var/cache dir must be empty before rebuiilding the search index.

Build index on a fresh install give a blank page, and all the searches on frontend give no results (even advance search).

Hi,

I am having problems with the Quick Search not finding any products that have visibility set as just Search, running 1.2.0.1, had no problems in 1.1.8.

I have tried deleting everything out of the cache folder, then rebuilt the search index, with no joy.

Thanks
Tim

we have followed all recommendations and the rebuild search index still fails in all browsers. those of you that got it to work, can you please tell us what operating system and web browser you used?
