Magento

Hello community -

My search function returns no results.  It had worked in the past so I’m not sure at what point it stopped working.  I am currently on version 1.2.1.2 and not sure if upgrading to this version had anything to do with it.

Secondly, if I search for something and get the no results message and try to enter another search term, my site just hangs up after trying to search for something the second time.

Anyone else experiencing similar problems or have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

go to admin -> system -> cache management -> rebuild SEARCH INDEX

I do not see anything relating to “rebuild search index” under System->Cache Management

I am on Version 1.2.1.2.  Was this something found on older version?

Thanks.

That option she mentioned is actually found on version 1.2.1.2 - are you sure you’re runing version 1.2? - that’s the correct way to solve the issue…

1.2.1.2 has the Search Index rebuild near the bottom of the Cache Management page (Admin -> System -> Cache Management)

If you are not seeing it then try deleting the contents of your magento/var/cache folder as well as your browser cache. Close and reopen your browser.

I figured it out.  I’m not sure why the “Search Index” rebuild was not showing in Cache Management, however, I found another post that said to install the “magento-core/Mage_All_Latest” extension through Magento Connect.

After I installed that, the Search Index button showed up and my search problem was fixed.  Thanks to all that responded.

thank you man, I soooo needed this
