Ivan,
I have a couple of search related questions:
1 - When searching a site, does the search look through documents in the library?
2 - Can you make it search through the content on documents in libraries?
Thank you,
Andrei
Hi Andrei,
The Documents & Files module is not included in the index.
Best wishes,

Ivan,
Thanks. Would you have any suggestions as to a work-around at all? Is this something Sitefinity is looking at for the future?
Many thanks,
Andrei
Hello Andrei,
I am not able to provide you with a workaround, but we have plans to index documents and file content. We have logged task for this - ID - 106997, but currently we have not estimate it.

I am getting this error also and therefore search does not work for me, it always is returning 0 results. Even when i create a brand new index it doesn't seem like it is working in general. What does the search base its results off of? Do i need to add keywords and meta data to every single page?
Hello,
Most probably the index is not configured properly. If you want to get data from pages, make sure that Static HTML checkbox is checked.

Hi,
I am having quite the same problem when reindexing indexes.
I get a Return 0 message or this message :
Could not find a part of the path 'E:\web\asalogcom00\htdocs\App_Data\Sitefinity\Search\all\
The site www.asalog.com is hosted at DiscountASP.net.
Sitefinity version is 4.0.1098
I have set up the scope as Static HTML and Blog Posts

Hello Vincent,
Please recreate your index. The error says that the files related to the index are missing.

Hello Ivan,
Thank you for coming back to me.
The error message is thrown when I reindex, and yes, I can see that the files are never created.

Hi Vincent,
I am not able to replicate this issue locally. Can you try to install a new project with the Project Manager, run the project through the built-in web server and try to index?

Hi,
I have the same issue, I created a news index, I am trying to re-index it but I got "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" (as shown in the attached screenshot)
Also, when I created a testing page with the search control, and I am searching with a word in one of the news items, I got "0 searching results".
I am using version 4.0.1210.0
Thanks.
Thanks I resolved the issue.
Andre, PDF search was very important to one of our clients. We are working with a workaround by putting the PDFs in a subdomain on a web server and storing them all there. Then adding Google Search targeted on that directory. We call it an "Advanced Search."
Hello,
Just wanted to recap on the re-indexing errors - does anyone in the thread still has problems with that. If so please check if the user that your web application pool is using has permissions to create and modify files in this App_Data sub folder.
About the indexing of documents and libraries we still don't have official estimate for the inclusion of this feature in Sitefinity.

Hi
I have confirmed that the app pool user has full access to the app_data and all subfolders including the search folder. When i do a re-index in the backend i can watch the folder get deleted and recreated and then the same error gets thrown in the backend "Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown."
And it doesn't index my content.
Hi,
The problem for me has been solved by increasing quota for Anonymous ASPNet User on discountasp.net :
default value is 100 MB has been changed to 200.
The problem I had was that all files in the search folder were deleted and cannot be recreated leaving an empty folder.
I had to recreate indexes on my dev computer and copy then to the site.

Vincent
Hi,
i tried all the ways that are mentioned in this post but i am still facing the error "Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown."
i commented my code using session object, added enablesessionstate, given access permission for App_Data folder to the user i am using in app pool but no luck. i am using Windows 7 and ISS 7.
thanks in advance for the help.

Hello,
Do you have RadStylesheet manager or RadScriptManager in the template? This could also cause the error you are getting.

No I don't have RadStylesheet Manager or RadScript Manager in the template
Hi ,
Then the problem is in some of your custom controls. Can you replicate the issue on a new installation of Sitefinity ? It looks like you have not escaped all places where you use the page object, SiteMap or session.
If the problem persists, you can open a support request and send the project and its database to us.

Hi Ivan,
I am using sitefinity 7.3 I getting error Object Reference message ,I am reading lots of forum to resolve it even I try to recreate index but it still giving me error when i am going to Reindexing it
please reply me as soon as possible
Hi,
For this error to occur the site may not have permissions to write the search index file in App_Data/Sitefinity/Search folder. Please make sure to grant read,write, modify permissions over App_Data/Folder, this requirement is part of this documentation article.
If this doesn`t solve the problem please replicate the error and then go to App_Data/Sitefinity/Logs folder and locate the Error.log and Trace.log, locate the Object Refence error and paste the full error to get get more detailed info on the problem.
