I am currently making changes to an open edx instance configured by other guys. After checking the code, I found that its master branch is "oxa/master.fic" so assuming that is installed using oxa-tools.

I am having an issue that I couldnt find any results in explore courses page also search results are empty. But the homepage shows lots of courses.

Since it didnt work, I tried making below changes in /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/envs.common.py

 'ENABLE_COURSEWARE_SEARCH': True,
 'ENABLE_DASHBOARD_SEARCH': True,
 'ENABLE_COURSE_DISCOVERY': True,
 'COURSE_DISCOVERY_FILTERS': ["org", "language", "modes"],

Then I restarted supervisor services but still I couldnt find courses in explore courses as well as search page.

May I know if I missed something ? I am pretty sure its not a bug.

All configurations usually are located on lms.env.json (for the learning management system) and cms.env.json (for the studio) at the parent folder of your edx-platform (i.e. /edx/app/edxapp) the values from that json file are read and they overwrite the ones on the environments python files, which just set up defaults in case there's a problem with the above mentioned json file.

Did you reindex your courses from CMS ??? If not go to CMS and go inside the courses content on the right top you will find reindex button click that. This may work ..
