Search Broken.

Sassaman

I've been using Logos for several years now, and recently the basic, Bible, image and morph searches have not worked at all. This includes changing the filters to literally any configuration, whether all resources or not, etc. Nothing is working at all.

Help?

By not working at all, do you mean they return zero results? It's hard to decipher what people mean by "it's broken" or "it doesn't work." That language may seem obvious to the person writing it, but it is really a vague description meaning "something went wrong". It could have been an error message or a crash or erroneous results in the search hits. But if you got zero results, that's another story, and probably the easiest to fix. Just wanting to clarify before we dive in to try to help you.

Note that if I assume for the moment that you meant zero results, then I suspect it's probably a problem with your index having gotten corrupt somehow. This does seem to happen once in a while for some mysterious reason. But the fix, if that is the case, is quite easy. Just enter the command rebuild index. You could try that now if you don't want to wait through a whole back-and-forth diagnosis on the forum, which could take until tomorrow sometime. It can take several hours, depending on how many resources are in your Library. But I'm thinking it's quite likely to work.
