Search of documents doesn't work

[mengana]

Hi,
I have installed the following plugins:
-Search Plugin Phoca Download - Deutsche Sprachdateien
-Phoca Download Such Plugin
Both are activated.

The search for documents doesn't work.
I have a Search Module (Suche) and a SearchIndex (Suchindex).
The following components are all activated:
Suche - Kategorien
Suche - Kontakte
Suche - Inhalt
Suche - Newsfeeds
Suche - Weblinks
Suchindex - Kategorien
Suchindex - Kontakte
Suchindex - Inhalt
Suchindex - Newsfeeds
Suchindex - Weblinks
I use Joomla 2.5. It is independently from the template (I've tried it already with other templates)
That's very strange. I have another website where it works without problems.

What is also strange:
if I search a text included in any article with the search module, the search module gives no answer: not even "not found". It seems it doesn't works at all.
If I search the same text with the searchindex module, it will be found. I've have indexed everything. What is strange is that in the website where it works I don't have a search index module but only a search module. Which could be the problem??? Is there any other parameter that perhaps avoids that the search works?

Hi, did you refresh the index, testing now, without any problem ???

Do you mean the suchindex? I did it again but the search doesn't work. Have the link just to try it yourself: http://novartis-sport.ch/joomla/index.php.
I've included the search module which doesn't work at all.
And a search index module which finds the elements included in articles, but not pdfs.
In another website that I have I have only the search module and a pdf search plugin and everything is found. I'm getting crazy!!

There seems to be some error while searching, searching some term in search will do nothing, only refresh the page to home page

I could live only with the Suchindex since the search in articles works but documents, for example pdfs or any other file are not found.
What makes me angry is that the search (not even the search index) works for everything (search for terms in articles and search for pdfs) in my other website.
What do you suggest? Installing everything again? If I had realized that before, just a t the beginning, but now I have uploaded a lot of material...
Is there another search component also for pdfs (I don't need to search the pdfs inside, just search the name of the pdfs) that I could install instead??

Here a piece of code from the website where the search works:

Code: Select all

<div id="header">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="search" style="xhtml"/>	
...
</div>

and here that of the website where the search doesn't work:

Code: Select all

<div class="searchbutton"><jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-0" style="none" /></div>

I've noticed that in the last one nowhere is the name of the module; I mean "search". It says name="position-0". Could that be the reason? Although I've changed but nothing happened.

I've installed RokAjaxSearch and it works ok for articles as well as for pdfs. This issue is now solved.
