plone 5.0.8 - search function stopped working

Plone Support
1

i have a Plone 5.0.8 build that worked normally until now...

search works only partially.

for example:
search: ".mp4" says no results found, yet i have 300 .mp4 files in the build.

search: ".webm" says no results found, yet i have a couple of dozen .webm files in the build

search: ".png" works properly

any ideas how to correct the situation?

thanks in advance.

figured a workaround: i just copied and pasted a few files (mp4 and webm) from other folder to home folder,,, then the search function went back to normal.

Could be a catalog issue. Reindex your site.

  1. Make sure you have a backup
  2. ZMI > portal_catalog > advanced tab > clear and rebuild
