SID-00377: Can't perform any search in the system

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.1	Perl version:	5.8.4

when I tried t0 test the "web search" function on the top right. It didn't work. I have edited some of the topics which definitely include "cisco", when I put "cisco" in and do the search, it gave me the following error info:

Could not perform search. Error was: /usr/sfw/bin/gegrep -F -i -l -H -- %TOKEN|U% %FILES|F% Grep for 'cisco' returned error

Discussion and Answer

I have also checked the configure , there is no error there at the moment .

I have fixed the problem.

This is also caused by misconfiguration of the {RCS}{FgrepCmd}, After first time configured the path on the configure path, if there is no error, you can't find it anymore. You have to go to the system and edit the config file LocalSite.cfg under twiki-root/lib.

The mistake I made is

TWiki::cfg{RCS}{FgrepCmd} = '/usr/sfw/bin/gegrep ....'

It should be TWiki::cfg{RCS}{FgrepCmd} = '/usr/sfw/bin/gfgrep...'
