WebUI library search not working

[jamesrw]

I having a problem when searching my library using the server webUI. If I click the "guide" tab I get results, but absolutely nothing from the "library" tab. I've tried regenerating the search index under the maintenance options. Any other ideas?

EDIT: Just noticed that when I do a search using the "Add Content" button in collections and virtual channels it works fine. It's just the general search bar that doesn't seem to be working for me!

Does your search term include ordinal numbers?

BUG: Web UI Search Library Issue with Ordinal Numbers

I've noticed a minor issue in Search for a while, so thought I'd document while all the updates have been going on. In the Web UI, when searching for something with an ordinal number (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc...), it works fine in the Guide but the Library will be blank out. As an example here is a search for "3rd" in the Guide: [image] And the same search in the Library has nothing: [image] Just to prove it is only the Ordinal number, here is a search for "Lupin" that shows the Guide and Libra…

or special characters?

Search in web UI returns no library results when ':' is in the search string

Example with the movie "Sister Swap: Christmas in the City" No results from the library (but it does exist in the library, see further below): [image] But it correctly returns the upcoming airing from the guide: [image] Now without the ':' character, the library entry shows up: [image] And the guide is still good too: [image]

Not my case, but thanks for the ideas.

Here's an example of what I'm seeing. If I do a search for "avatar" under "add content" in virtual channels or collections, I get what I expect, the results from my library:

If I do the same search using the search bar in the header I get nothing:

But if I click the "Guide" tab on that screen, I do get results for upcoming showings of my search query from my live tv sources:

Does it work if you include double quote marks in your search?
"avatar"

Another good idea, but no luck!

I appreciate the effort!

@jamesrw did you find a fix for this? I've just encountered the same problem - Server UI search returns no library results. Have tried regenerating search index, did not fix.

Avatar, or something different?

[jamesrw]

No intentional fix, but it is working for me now. Maybe a later server version fixed the problem or just a regular database update fixed it, I don't know!

Avatar, or something different?

different - any and all content that I know is in my library does not show in server UI search. Similar to above, it does appear in the virtual channel media search. I have opened a support ticket.

try Refresh Search under Maintenance

For those who may have similar issue, it seemed to be a caching issue. In my case, I had the Channels Server installed as an Edge App. I needed to uninstall the edge app and reinstall it to get search working again (or just access from a browser after cache clear).
