There are no results in the search


  • Somehow the whole plugin stopped working.
    There is notification on top of admin pages that it needs to be addressed
    There is no information on the plugin admin for what is the issue except.
    The engine is idle and says 0 posts done.
    The plugin has been working for years now and all of a sudden stopped.
    What can I do? I like the plugin and it returns great results.
    The site is sort of set up same as it has been for years. Nothing gets added as everything is on it already. We dont do new recordings so nothing is added.

  • Hi @lostconcerts

    I have read your message and would say it's not clear what happen yet. Did you try to rebuild the index? Recently we updated the core of WPFTS, so it can be a reason, some incompatibility with your website.

    But it's all solvable.


  • @EpsilonAdmin Well, search attempts just returned nothing on the site. When I went to the admin it said it was idle with no results in the cache and waiting. I clicked on the rebuild. Same thing. Waited a day, still nothing and no search results. I cleaned up everything I could. I disabled all the other plugins. Nothing. I uninstalled, deleted all the database (13) entries and deleted the plugin. I reinstalled the plug in. It created the datbase entries again but same thing. Rebuild database produced a waiting and no data.
    I actually deleted the plugin again and got another one, not as good, but worked.
    I really liked your product. It is a shame. I would like to go back to it.
    This is one of the 1000's of errors flooding the error.log for one of two sites using this plugin. This may help determine the issue:
    [27-May-2024 23:15:57 UTC] WordPress database error Table 'my_local_database.wpftsi_irules' doesn't exist for query select ir.* from wpftsi_irules ir where (ir.ident = "wpfts_core/settings" and ir.act_hash = "d584af62c7152d90905393915b2a87a327d0a9e3") made by require('wp-blog-header.php'), require_once('wp-load.php'), require_once('wp-config.php'), require_once('wp-settings.php'), do_action('init'), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, {closure}, WPFTS_Core->collect_irules, WPFTS_Core->decodeAndSyncIndexRules, WPFTS_DB->get_results

    There may be other errors but this one was everywhere. I deleted the error logs after removing the plugin and no more errors.
    So, can we solve this issue?
    Rick


  • HI @lostconcerts

    Thank you for detailed information. Yes, I understand the issue now. The wpftsi_irules table was just not created on version update. The reason WHY it was not created. We need to understand that.

    Do you say you cleared error.log or you have a backup?
    I think we need to find the very first error where this database table should be created.

    Do you think you can activate the plugin again and then send me error.log for analyze?

    Thanks.


  • @EpsilonAdmin Done in PM


  • This bug (definitely a bug!) was fixed in version 1.68.232
    We made "ident" field in the new wpftsi_irules table shorter (limited from 255 to 130) to avoid VARCHAR index length overflow.

    Thanks, @lostconcerts !

    Hi @blixhavn

    Do you remember which plugins you've installed recently? Some of them may conflict with WPFTS Pro, especially when making a search at the front end. Please try to disable those plugins temporarily.

    If it does not help, let's connect with TeamViewer so I can solve this issue faster (write me a private message or via Live Chat at the main page).

    Hi @Nick

    Yes, the algorithm thinks the number of words here is more important than the exact phrase... Ideally, if we could justify the relative weight for the phrase matches. Currently, it's too low for your case, but I think if we can double it, this could solve the issue.

    I think to put this parameter to settings in the near future. Thanks!

    We have over 1,000 pdf documents on our website, and the most important is our Journal, with 238 editions at present. As an example, a couple of issues of our Journal are here, but they are all similar in structure:
    https://rchs.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Journal-100-Nov-1975.pdf
    https://rchs.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Journal-001-Jan-1955.pdf
    You will see that at the bottom of the second page of Journal 100 is a table of contents for the issue and, if the pdf is saved and then opened in Acrobat Reader, there is an equivalent set of bookmarks. It would help if a search term appearing in the article title (as listed in the table of contents) was given a higher weighting than one in the text of the document, but quite often the term will only occur in the text, and not in the title at all.
    Ideally, we would like the weighting to be based upon articles, but weightings based upon the the whole Journal is acceptable. This is because the articles tend to be on unrelated topics within a Journal, so there is probably little difference between the number of instances of a specific search term within an article, and within its parent document.
    I think it would help me if you could explain, in non-technical terms, how the four weightings operate with WPFTS. I've looked at the TFIDF article on Wikipedia, and understand the basics, but the majority of the article is too technical for me. Perhaps this information could also be added to the WPFTS documentation?
    As a related issue, could WPFTS open the document listed in the search results at the first article page where the search term is found? I realise it might go to the article title instead, and if so that wouldn't really help much.

    Great! but I still haven't received the email with the link. If possible, please send me back so that I can install and do the tests. Thank you so much!
