Search is not finding my data AND the indexing process does not appear to be completing. What's happening?

If you are not seeing pages returned by the search that you expect to be returned, it's most likely that the indexing is not running correctly (either not running or failing). You can check the status of the index processing via the Administration Console > Content Indexing link.

Why could indexing be failing? The indexing process is multi-threaded and therefore has a tendency to consume a lot of resources when running an initial index or reindexing the entire site. So, what can do wrong?

  • Some systems do not like the multi-threaded index process. You can set the index process to us only a single thread by setting bucket.indexing.threads.fixed=1

  • The index process may also block if there are insufficient available database connections. Increasing the number of connections from 15 to 30 will help in this situation.

See the Content Index Administration page.
