Question

Hello,

When I do an ACTIONSEARCH (to find actions created using the action tracker plugin), my result set comes up empty depending on my {RCS}{SearchAlgorithm} setting in localsite.cfg:

TWiki::Store::SearchAlgorithms::PurePerl works fine and returns the actions it should, but

TWiki::Store::SearchAlgorithms::Forking returns an empty results set.

When I use Forking, there is an error in the apache log:

I am not so familiar with grep, so I'm sort of working blindly, but the way I found to change this setting was http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/ActionTrackerSearchNotWorking

My other relevant-seeming RCS settings are:

$TWiki::cfg{RCS}{EgrepCmd} = 'c:\\progra~1\\GnuWin32\\bin\\grep.exe -E %CS{|-i}% %DET{|-l}% -H -- %TOKEN|U% %FILES|F%';

$TWiki::cfg{RCS}{FgrepCmd} = 'c:\\progra~1\\GnuWin32\\bin\\grep.exe -F %CS{|-i}% %DET{|-l}% -H -- %TOKEN|U% %FILES|F%';

I have heard that searching is slower using Pure Perl rather than grep, so it would be nice to have it working with grep .... does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks! Kathy

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

See if it helps to change those two TWiki::cfg{RCS}{...} settings to use 'C:/progra~1/GnuWin32/bin...'. I don't know that that's the source of the problem, but I know that the (single) forward slash works even on Windows, and I've had problems with backslashes before.

Hi Sean -- Thanks, I just tried it, and unfortunately it doesn't have any effect.

Also, I think I forgot to mention earlier that with either Forking or PurePerl, regular searches work fine - it's just the ACTIONSEARCH that doesn't work with Forking.
