Question

Searching returns no results. I enter a word in the Advanced Search section of WebSearch that I know is on a page. I've tried it with matching case, etc. No luck. It just returns "Number of topics: 0" for every web on the system. No errors are displayed.

I have also noticed that Ref-By is returning 0 results on a page that is referenced by other. The results page shows the search term at the top, followed by "Number of topics: 0".

I have verified that /bin/egrep and /bin/fgrep exist.

Any ideas?

Answer

Suggestion: Check your file and directory permissions. I had this happen once on Windows 2000 when the permissions for "read" were cleared.

Is there anything else I can try? I am using the Feb 2006 release and having the same issue...

Are you using GNU grep? Try

/bin/egrep -H -- TWiki *.txt
