Doesn't search for all folders

[igorzigorz]

dovecot 2.3.10 fts xapian 1.2.11a and roundcube 1.4.3 Several folders about 20Gb and 18000 messages. Searching text for current folder or current with subfolders - no problem. But not searching for all folders via web or doveadm. "doveadm search" in the loop for specific folder names is Ok. But "doveadm search mailbox * body sometext" or "doveadm search body sometext" outputs almost all messages.

This is a dovecot design. fts-xapian is just the backffice. You may post your issue on the dovecot mailing list

[igorzigorz]

But why does fts-lucene have a different behavior? Works as expected.

[grosjo]

Can you share your dovecot conf ?

[igorzigorz]

doveconf -n

lucene.txt xapian.txt

[grosjo]

can you try issuing the same commands from /tmp (to avoid conflicting "*" with local folders) ?

[igorzigorz]

doveadm search -u user mailbox '*' body 'sometext' doveadm search -u user body 'sometext' In any place the same result. This is when fts-lucene is enabled.

[grosjo]

Please try with latest git

[igorzigorz]

Now the search is the same with or without a mailbox. But different results if the query "text" or "body". Looking for a unique string. doveadm search -u user body 'sometext' is correct, one message. But doveadm search -u user text 'sometext' finds multiple messages.

[grosjo]

"body" search in the message body "text" search in the whole fields (including title, from, to, ..)

[igorzigorz]

fts-lucene again works as expected. This is a really unique string for all messages.

[igorzigorz]

Ok, I'm trying to find a string that isn't exactly there (sha384 /etc/resolv.conf). doveadm search -u user text 'thisstring' found 31 messages.

[grosjo]

Can you clarify what exactly is "as exptected" and what is wrong currently, with an example ? (output of the commands)

[igorzigorz]

"as exptected" - relevant to the grep search. If I have a single message with some unique string then the search returns only one message. Not important "text" or " body". And if there is no such string, then nothing.

[grosjo]

Ok So what is the actual issue with fts-xapian ?

[igorzigorz]

Search seems fine now. In general, there was a problem with roundcube and moving a large number of messages and renaming folders. Before that, moving worked, but with error messages. Due to starting indexing. Now indexing does not start at all. Investigating the problem.

[grosjo]

I tested renaming folders with roundcube, the index is kept (no re-indexing) Moving large number of items is creating timeouts in roundcube in deed, but the architecture shall be dsicussed with dovecot. Let me know if something else seems broken

[igorzigorz]

Rechecked, all seem ok now. This issue can be closed.

[grosjo]

ok cool
