No results !

Same with me here.
The settings are all set. Swish-e recognizes all plug-ins (or at least Drupal recognizes the plug-ins' paths), the indexing seems to work (corresponding entries in the database), but a search returns no result. It is maybe interesting to note, that the "Beginn Swish-E Indexing"-Checkbox stays unchecked after checking and saving the settings (I get no error-message, but only an empty bullet point and a "Your Swish-E settings has been saved"-statement).

Hi Marcin, Hi joeBro,

I think I have a solution for your problem if you are using swish-e indexer on a windows system. I had the same issue and after an hour I found out that there was a problem with the Slash/Backslash-Handling in the Code. Try to change the following lines in the files mentioned below. That worked fine for me. Good luck.

In File: swish.integration.inc

Line 13 find
$file_path = getcwd() .'/' . file_directory_path();
and replace with: 
$file_path = getcwd() .'\\' . file_directory_path();

Line 59 find
$swish_indx_cmd .= " -f $file_path/my_swish_index"; // save the index to the files directory
and replace with:
$swish_indx_cmd .= " -f $file_path\my_swish_index"; // save the index to the files directory

Line 60 find
exec (escapeshellcmd($swish_indx_cmd), $results, $rv);
and replace with:
exec ($swish_indx_cmd, $results, $rv);

In File: swish.module

Line 61 find
$swish_index = getcwd() .'/' . file_directory_path().'/'. 'my_swish_index';
and replace with:
$swish_index = getcwd() .'\\' . file_directory_path().'\\'. 'my_swish_index';

Line 78 find
$swish_command = variable_get("swish_path","/usr/local/bin/swish-e") . escapeshellcmd(" -m 50 -f $swish_index  -w ").$words;      
and replace with:
$swish_command = variable_get("swish_path","/usr/local/bin/swish-e") . " -m 50 -f $swish_index  -w ".$words;      

After applying the changes go to the config menue for swish-e and try again the "Begin Swish-E Indexing". After that run cron.php and then try a search. In the advanced search menue you will find a tab called "files" an there you can search within the files.

I'm having the same issue here--and I'm on Debian Etch, so I don't think the slash issue is at play here . . .

Just checking in about this--I have a multisite install, and am experiencing the same behavior on several sites. For each site where swish is enabled, it looks like each cron run is creating a new swishstring file in its respective tmp directory. Indexing via command line works, but nothing is getting indexed for the particular site. Any ideas?

In the common.conf file, set reporting to 4, run the on-the-fly indexing, and see if there are troubles on the indexing side of things.

IndexReport 4
ParserWarnLevel 4

You could also rip open the index file and check that there are words in there. It is semi-human-readable.

If it still looks like everything is fine, the issue is truly on the search side. There's always the chance that apache doesn't have rights to run swish--which may be why you can search from CLI and get results.

Swish-e is insanely fast, and, depending on your needs, might be a great option, so don't give up quite yet!

I get this - any ideas why it doesnt use the converters?

After editing the files like berlinonline said I got this error:

Any ideas?
