today I upgraded our server from 15.9 to 15.10.2 (Debian package installation tomcat9 mariadb) and since then the search suggestions are not popping up anymore.
With an fresh installation of 15.10.2 this issue does not occur.
Both installations are set to localization “German”, I already tried to re-indexing Solr (integrated) and already tried disabling and re-enabling suggestions via the Global Administration, nothing worked so far.
I found quite some forum threads regarding issues of Solr and localization, but as I did not change the localization of our XWiki, im not very certain that these are related to our issue. Also the pages are in the same localization, that is set on the Global Administration (both “Deutsch”).
@TomTheWise did you upgraded already the flavor? Have you logged in on your wiki with an admin account? On my side once the distribution wizard ran to perform the upgrade of the flavor I can properly use the search suggestion.
Yes I ran the flavor update immediately after the update. To be honest I remembering something related to Solr during distribution wizard but I did not pay very close attention.
You didn’t see any errors in the tomcat logs? I fixed some recent changes that have been made in this area that should protect a bit more against issues (planned to be released in 15.10.3), but in theory for the problems I’m thinking about you should have logs.
I rolled back the Snapshot I did of the of the whole VM our XWiki is running on quite quickly, so we are back on 15.9, I can try to upgrade it again in a few days and will pay more attention on the logs and what exactly it was the Distribution Wizzard asked about Solr.
A few moments ago I installed 15.10.3 on top of out 15.9.+1 Installation, now the distribution Wizard did not mention anything about Solr and the search suggestions work!
