Description Stephan Ahonen 2007-01-09 19:34:00 UTC

To move content from an old wiki to a new one, I performed an XML export from
the old wiki and imported it into the new one. Attempting to search for the
pages I had imported turned up nothing, even though they were accessible
normally. Diving into the database I determined that the XML import had put the
content into the page table, but not the searchindex table which the wiki uses
for searches. Going to each page and making a minor edit would put the page into
the index and make it searchable.

Use the maintenance script updateSearchIndex.php .

Something like:

php maintenance/updateSearchIndex.php -s 200701091800000000

Comment 2 Rob Church 2007-01-09 20:13:38 UTC

For the import script, users need to run the search index rebuild scripts after
importing. For regular Special:Import, the issue should be fixed in a newer release.

Comment 3 Stephan Ahonen 2007-01-09 20:39:10 UTC

I ran the script a few different ways, even trying -s 20060101000000, but the
pages still aren't being indexed. Is there anywhere I can RTFM on this? The
searchindex table only has three rows in it, Current Events, Main Page, and the
page I touched to make the wiki index it.

Looking in the maintenance dir I found rebuildtextindex.php. THe source looks
like it would do the trick, but it doesn't include the variables containing the
db connection info. Time to do some PHP hacking I guess.

Tested on my MW installation (1.19) works just fine.
