[EP-tech] Re: Strange search behaviour

Andrew,

What you need to do is reindex the data:

bin/epadmin reindex <repo id> eprint --verbose

Note that this may take some time...
You restart the indexer when, for example, you upgrade your metadata schema (like adding a new fields to "eprint") - this is because the indexer runs into its own process space (so its copy of the perl modules and/or the local config might be out of date).

Thanks Seb,

I¹m testing this on my local copy of the data and there are, in fact, only
13 records pertaining to this keyword in the eprints__rindex table. Now,
I¹ve restarted the indexer however Bev says that this is something she
does on occasion yet the issue is still present.

Is it possible that the indexer is running into problems and, if so, is
there an error log we can interrogate to try and find out what the problem
is likely to be?

Andrew,

Searches query the rindex tables so make sure your keyword is in there
72 times also. If not, you'll need to have the dataset reindexed (via
epadmin).

Which version of EPrints?
There is a nice little issue I discovered whereby and 'short' words are
thrown away be the indexer, but not the simple search handler, so
searching for e.g. 'Face to Face' wouldn't find 'Face to Face' - but I
believe this is limited to the simple search.
Is there any correlation in what you're seeing and short search terms?

Cheers,
John

Subject: [EP-tech] Strange search behaviour

Hello all!

More of a question rather than a ³How do IŠ² this time! We¹ve noticed
some odd behaviour in our search, mainly around searching on keywords.
Our EPrints system manager uses keywords to allow her to quickly find
records of interest or importance. Both the quick search and the
advanced search turn out 11 records when this keyword is used as the
search term, a number she believes is wrong. I¹ve done a focussed SQL
search in the database and I get 72 records with this keyword, all of
which are published records.

Is this just a problem on our installation or are there issues with the
search in EPrints in general?
