Sorry if this is a redundant post, but I can't figure out what the current status on the search module. I've just installed 4.3.2 and finished setting up all my content, but the search module doesn't return any results. I navigated to cron.php in my browser and tried to search again, but that had no effect. Is the search feature broken? If not, what should I be doing to build the search index for my site?

TIA,

Mac

After you (or a crontab) have accessed cron.php, the index should have been built. That is, the search function should work, though admittedly is not always very effective. Is your search_index SQL table empty?

mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM search_index;

Hi Dries,

Yes, the search_index SQL table is empty. Any other thoughts?

That cron task works better when you navigate to cron.php, rather than chron.php

Operator error. Problem resolved. :)

I understand from some posts that cron can be run from the command prompt, or as a schedule task. I gave this a shot and encountered a few errors shown below. There is no status indicator indicating whether these errors are fatal or not. It looks like all errors are related to HTTP variables expected by common.inc.

I ran a little test, checing node_cron_last, runing cron.php from the command prompt, and then checking node_cron_last again. The variable is being updated. Can I ignore these errors?
