Rebuild search index not working

[Dylan Leblanc]

I have just upgraded from vBulletin 2.0.8 to 3.5.2, and the rebuild search index function is not working.

When I try to do it through the admin CP, it announces Total Posts Processed: 0 and keeps reloading the page as if it were doing something.

When I use the searchshell.php file it says Index completed after 0 hours and 00 minutes, and nothing is rebuilt.

There are about 25,000 posts in my forum.

I am having exactly the same symptom.

(version 3.5.1, and data was imported using impex from 3.0.3)

Make sure that this is set to 'Yes' for all your folrums: Index New Posts in Search Engine

Thank you.

Odd that this would be set at No by default when I upgrade. A bit annoying to have to set it to Yes manually for 70 forums.

I have seen this a couple of times before but I have no idea what causes this. Sorry.

Ah this might also be the trouble I've been having. Yes, would be nice for future people if perhaps the upgrade script kept the index setting. Just an idea. Thanks for the answer though

Yes, just happened to me (upgrading from 2.3.9). Good thing I found this thread!

Where to set this option?

I remember. It's an option under the forum setting.

But mine is set to yes after the upgrade.

Why is yrs set to no?
