Magento

Hey,

I just uploaded around 2000 products to a magento store through dataflow. And it was pointed out that the Search function was not showing up the new products. If i go into each product individually and hit save it works not sure whats wrong. I tried searching here already haven’t seen anyone else with similar problem. Has anyone experienced this?

Using magento 1.3.0

I figured it out nothing todo with dataflow. I forgot to rebuild the search index in cache management. Just in case anyone has problem in future.

I have the same problem but refreshing/rebuilding cache doesn’t solve this issue…
Any other solution ?

Using Magento 1.3.1.1

My problem is coming from the table ‘catalog_product_website’ which is not updated, with dataflow import or SOAP products creation.
I didn’t find a “correct” manner to fix it, so I’m dynamically inserting rows into the table.

I will be happy if someone can teach me the right way to proceed !

I am having the same problem on Magento 1.3.2.4. I used DataFlow to import products and now they do not show in search. Rebuilding search index does nothing. I have to go and manually re-save each product to make it show in search.

Can any one suggest smarter way to fix it??
Thanks

I am using Import feature of Store Manager for Magento and I have the same issue. You can resolve this issue by running the Rebuilds in Magento>>Admin>>Cache page. You will need to run refresh Layered Navigation Indices first and then run the Search Index rebuild next (in that order). I import products daily for one of my customers with a automatic script because the prices, quantity on hand and some description items can change daily. I am in the process of writing a PHP script that will conduct the search rebuilds automatically. I will post this script when I complete it and you can set it up as a cron job based on your needs.

Just setup a cron job to run the following without quotes “/usr/local/bin/php /PATH/TO/MAGENTO/shell/indexer.php reindexall”.

Please note you need to update the path to magento to meet your needs…

What subdirectory “shell” do you mean? (/PATH/TO/MAGENTO/shell/indexer.php reindexall)

I can´t find it in the magento root directory.

still having this problem 1.4.1.1 and the solution about doesnt work as the system has changes from cache screen to index screen but doesnt work.

You have refresh all index by using System->Index Management, after product, then only the database table will update with newly import ed data and catalog search will work on front end

I have tried to re-index in the order mentioned in this thread and also tried the cron job, however none of these methods are working. I imported all the products using the Data Flow feature. The only way that work so far is to re-save the products but I have way to many products to go through manually.

If anyone else has any ideas that I can try that would be great.

Thanks

Hi,

I imported 2500 products and the search stooped working along with if I select all products from number of products to be shown on products list page.

I Re indexed all the items in Index management and this worked and fixed both of my issues. I am on M 1.4.1.1

Thanx

Hi,
I have installed magento V1.5.0.1 and have a feed import of 65000 products.
But after the import the search on the site is not working, on doing a search it comes back with no results.

i have tried the reindexing and the flush of all the cache but this has not helped either.

Can you pls help get this going?

Hello,

After each import you need run full reindex. Take a look at this extension Fast Asynchronous Re-indexing. It solve this problem.

Hi,

Goto -> System -> Index management. There I clicked on Catalog Search Index and Reindex data.Clear my Cache and It worked .
