Hi, I upgraded the site to 4.6.2 yesterday and i am also having search module problems. Finally i disabled search in my site. I am also seeing a lot of warning messages in the log as follows:

Compilation failed: characters with values > 255 are not yet supported in classes at offset 143 in /var/www/html/modules/search.module on line 265.

Is this a dangerous issue? Anyway after disabling the search module, they have disappeared from the logs....

thanks, Paul www.chintha.com

Right now this is my biggest issue with Drupal. The search engine is completely unusable. It's simply not possible to search for more complex strings like more than one word enclosed with " " or get useful results searching more than one word. The functionalities aren't the biggest problem, though. The search function on my site just doesn't work. Some nodes aren't getting indexed for some reason. The search page shows that: 100% of the site has been indexed. But this doesn't reflects the reality. Try follow this:http://www.cesspit.net/drupal/search/node/pann Then look at this:http://www.cesspit.net/drupal/node/747 As you can see that node isn't "seen" by the search system for unknown reasons. This happens frequently for a bunch of nodes both new and old. It would be nice if someone could start working on a decent search system that is actually usable. Being able to search using dates would also be appreciated. -HRose / Abalieno -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
