This article describes an error message that can appear in the Find section of the Episerver CMS when accessing features like Best Bets and more.

The error is:
Your index does not support statistics

This issue occurs when the index being used is expired. Please confirm the index configured in the section of web.config below.

<episerver.find serviceUrl="url" defaultIndex="index"/>

A lot of times it is a demo or developer Find index that has been decommissioned.   The solution is to test with a known working index.
