Hello All!

 I have a site where the search for the pages and the blocks are not working - keeps throwing up the "Content not found" 

so far i have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. 

i can hit this ok 

http://mysite/IndexingService/IndexingService.svc

and get the end point not found 

i can get to here

//EPiServer/CMS/Admin/IndexContent.aspx

and it runs fine but when i go t the specfied location the folder is empty. 

the folder permissions seem ok aswell - not too sure what is going on. 

any help provided would be much appraciated.

Make sure Find is selected under Admin / Config / Search Configuration.

Hi Hannah

What you are describing looks more like trouble with Episerver Search and not Episerver Find.

Make sure Find alternatives are at the top (drag and drop). Imo it's not necessary to have both of them selected unless you exclude a lot in your Find index.

Found the solution - it was the directoryPath that was the issue was that the path was hard coded where it should have been [appDataPath]. Once this was updated everything started working as expected! 

Thank you all very much for your advice !
