Hi there
We have come into a situation where all new Contact records created are showing up when performing a search on the Contact's List view page. We have set the search criteria to Fist Name OR Last Name OR EmailAddresses (linked Object).
We are not using a record name template for the Contact object as we are populating it manually based on the Prefix First Middle Last combinations.
Indexing is selected for all the fields as well as reindexed. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
And what do you search for? Please provide more info.
There was a problem with reindexing. (which was solved in Rollbase version: 3.2.0)

You can also check the search log, then you can see what is searched and which id's are retured.
We have a Detailed Search component on our List view for Contacts:
Hosny Someone and BB BB are new contacts, if I search First Name = Dave the new Contacts are also appearing in the Search Results page:
Hi Aede
Where would I find the search log? I have looked everywhere I can think of but can't seem to find it :-/
Hi mate, I do not seem to be getting anything returned for the searches I am doing:

at the time of testing it was 2015-06-16 14:32
Have you not seen any entry like "Search: query=" ?
I tried searching in Global search and in detailed search, so far I have this entry in my search log after I did the test.
[2015-06-17 00:09:38,584] Search: query=kidd AND defId:26928 objDefId=26928 Results:

Hi Orchid
On the global Search I got a hit on the Search log but not for the detailed search:

Hi Byron,
Sorry for the confusion, yes I am not getting search entry in logs too when using detailed search, I thought I have because I was using the same keyword. I'll confirm first if this is an expected behavior.
Regards,
Orchid
Hi Byron,
I just confirmed from our dev team that this an expected behavior, as an explanation to this "Global Search goes via Search Engine. Detail Search & Filter are for more complex search criteria and is handled via SQL".
When you use global search does it return the expected result?
Regards,
Orchd
Hi Orchid
Yes if I use global search I get the expected result. Even when doing a Details Search on another object I get expected results. Its very strange behavior.
The only thing that has changed for our Contact object is how we populate the Contact Name field:
Cleared out the Record Name template (We populate it manually)
Name field is used on the New and Edit forms with a modal popup to fill in the Prefix, First Name, Middle Name & Last Name which in turn populates the contact name field (on hiding of the modal).
If the users type directly into the Name field we build up the possible combinations to populate the actual Prefix, First name, Middle Name and Last Name fields that are hidden on the form.
No I do not see how this could be related at all but it is the only customization I have done on Contacts of late.
On double click or clicking the edit icon:
I don't think if the customization is causing it either where we are searching for a saved record.
Can you try to disable save > then enable again field property "Index this field as part of the text search engine."?
Regards,
Orchid
Hi Orchid
Thanks for the input but whether indexing is checked or not the results are the same using the detailed search :-/, is Indexing only relevant for the global search or is it for detailed search as well?
This is for global search only, I'm just trying some options related to searches. BTW what version it this?
Is it okay if can you attach here a copy of a test xml with this object? I'll investigate further.
Regards,
Orchid
Hi Orchid, we are running 3.2
Is there a way to export a specific object or would I have to generate the XML for the entire application?
Hi Byron,
you can create a new app > Create from existing objects > Specify the object needed and tab. After saving you can generate the app with that object, if there are dependent objects specify it too but in the core objects since I don't have those dependent objects pre-installed.
Regards,
Orchid
That would mean basically exporting our entire database lol as Accounts & Contacts are linked to pretty much everything. Can we not rather give you access?
I see, so don't export it. I suggest to create a support ticket so we can investigate it further and we can share files and info privately.
Regards,
Orchid
ok great, thanks
Hi Orchid, i registered for support but my client ID was not recognized but was able to submit the application regardless.
I have not been able to actually create a ticket as yet
