Same problem here, using version 82.0.7579.33985

artdijk commented 3 years ago

When reinstalled other v82 the functionality is not recovered. I'm afraid this is a very annoying bug...

GerHobbelt commented 3 years ago

🤔 What you might want to try is kill the search index / re-index the library.

Re-indexing is done via Qiqqa > Home > Tools > Qiqqa Configuration:

Then scroll down to bottom till you see these:

and click the "Rebuild library search indexes".

If that didn't work for you (YMMV), then we'll have to dig further into the issue and see what is making it misbehave: I've seen non-working search indexes in the past (v79 & v80) but not been able to pinpoint exactly what's going wrong in the LuceneNET search engine used by Qiqqa every time -- Qiqqa does use an old version (#23) and several problems which led to this behaviour have been fixed in the past (#20, #17, #16, #13).

Given that you're running latest v82 pre-release means there's still trouble lurking somewhere inside. 😞

@emanelbanna @artdijk - if the above doesn't work for you (the re-indexing), then I'll need to have a look at the Qiqqa log files to see if anything pops out in the there as a hint to me what might be going wrong with your particular search indexes.

See #264 comments for a guide how the collect and zip/bundle the logfiles. Email them to ger at hobbelt.com with a subject line referencing Qiqqa and this issue number to help the spam filters make the correct choice. 😉

Thanks Ger, the reindex seemed to work, although I expect some more search hits that the results shown. Is the reindex a long process for 2500 publication (about 220 000) pages ?

GerHobbelt commented 3 years ago

Yup, re-indexing can take a while. Might be handy to let Qiqqa run for several hours when you're not actively using it as the re-indexing happens in the background.

Closing this one. If the problem recurs, please open a new issue. Thanks!
