Hey dear XWiki-community,
I have set up an XWiki installation and configured the language to be german. I have created a handful of pages and other users have as well. Those pages all share the same language. If i search words which appear on all of these pages, only some of the pages I created show up (and those only show the headings, not the page content, although the word also appears there) and none of the user-created ones.
I was searching like this word (wildcards on both ends to be sure to catch all of them) and already tried re-indexing, but to no avail.
Is this a common problem? How can I fix my wiki search?
Edit: I read that the page language changes the way Solr indexes. Maybe the german language does not work well with Solr?
I was using āGerman (Austria)ā and changed it to āGermanā (in the wiki administration under ācontentā and ālocalisationā).
All the pages which had been created in āGerman (Austria)ā had to be re-created (I copied the old pageās content from the source editor to the new page).
Thanks for your reply. I would really appreciate some explanation from the xwiki team on why this is happening . Recreating pages seems impossible to me, thereās many hundreds of them that would need it.
Maybe thereās another way. I am new to XWiki and could not find a quick way of changing a pageās language, unfortunately.
Depending on where the wiki stores its page information, you may be able to adapt the language via SQL or a multi-āsearch and replaceā in the file system (e.g. via notepad++).
Thatās true. I once did a bulk change of locale in the database and it worked well (although it took some time to figure out the correct query): update xwikidoc set xwd_default_language = 'cs' where xwd_default_language in ('en', 'en_US', 'cs_CZ'); COMMIT;
. Recreating pages seems impossible to me, thereās many hundreds of them that would need it.
