Hello,
It’s generally easier to get some help or hints about how to solve your problem if you’re more specific about the problem itself. “no longer works” is quite generic and it can mean a lot of things, thus no-one will know where to direct you.
If you can describe the problem more in detail (page doesn’t load at all, page loads but with an error, there is no error but you see no results, you see some results but not the ones you’d expect to see, does it do the same for any search or only for a specific search, etc) or provide a screenshot of what you perceive as a defect it generally helps people help you.
Hope you’ll find an answer here,

Hello,
Sorry, I’m enhancing:
In version 15, the general search by the magnifying glass, and only this type of search, brings back much less documents than in version 11.6 .
the result obtained in v11.6 = 345 documents
below a screenshot of the result obtained in v15 (139 documents) :
thank you in advance
So, first of all, the number of results is not a problem itself, because we cannot know whether the old 345 was wrong or the new 139 is wrong 
. What we’d look at as a clear specific problem of the search is a specific page that appears in the 345 results and doesn’t appear anymore in the 139 results and you consider that it should be a search result for the ‘inlog’ search string. Then, starting with that we can investigate whether this expectation (that that specific page is in the results) is legitimate or not and we can conclude that the bug is in the new version not in the old one.
However, check a couple of things:
- check that there is no language filter applied to your search - in the facets on the right.
- check that the “hidden pages” setting of the user profiles that you are using on the 2 instances is set to the same value - hidden pages are not included in the search results so this could explain a difference in number
- check also that the language set on your wiki is ‘fr’ and not FR_fr, which is a known issue Loading... .
Hope this helps,
Anca
eureka, thank you very much, thanks to you the solution ““check also that the language set on your wiki is ‘fr’ and not FR_fr, which is a known issue Loading… .”. I corrected the setting of V15 identical to V11 : “the “internasionalisation” administration settings”. it was indeed incorrect after migration. Now I have the same number of documents on both sides: 345. again thank you for your great help. We can therefore close my question since it is resolved ( but I don’t know how to close a solved question in this forum though)
You should be able to mark one of the answers as a solution to the question.
thanks again, the question is marked solved!
