Incorrect Search Results for PageBuilder Pages

  • Updated

In search results, the summary (aggregate content) for PageBuilder pages is incorrect. Applies to Ektron versions 8.5 SP1 and higher.

You recently upgraded. Now, when PageBuilder pages appear in search results, the summary content is not what you expected. For example, XML text appears instead of page content.

To fix, use the search upgrade tool, which creates a summary for PageBuilder pages by searching the page content. Specifically, the search upgrade tool makes a Web request for each PageBuilder page in the database, and updates the content table's content_text  column with the response.

SearchUpgrade runs during an upgrade. If it fails, you can run it manually by following these steps.

Release 8.5 and 8.5 SP1

  1. Open a command line and point to C:\Program Files\Ektron\CMS400v85\Utilities\SearchServer\SearchUpgrade.

  2. Enter your web.config file's connectionString information, followed by your WSPath  value (also located in web.config). For example:

    SearchUpgrade.exe "server=servername;database=databasename;Integrated Security=true/false;user=username;pwd=password;" "http://site/Workarea/ServerControlWS.asmx " 

  3. Run a full crawl.

Release 8.5 SP2 or higher  

  1. Open a command line and point to C:\Program Files (x86)\Ektron\CMS400vnn\Utilities\SearchServer\SearchUpgrade. 

  2. Enter your web.config file's connectionString  information, followed by your WSPath  and ek_sitePath values (also located in web.config). For example:

    SearchUpgrade.exe "server=servername;database=databasename;Integrated Security=true/false;user=username;pwd=password;"
    "http://site/Workarea/ServerControlWS.asmx" "/OnTrek/" 

  3. Run a full crawl.
