Unable to get search page via Lucene

[sergeor]

when I try to access the search page, I get the message «Search is not configured».

I will describe to you exactly what I do

• I am creating a new ASP.NET Core empty project. I add reference to OrchardCore.Application.Cms.Targets
• I fill the setup page with the recipe blank site
• I'm adding a new Content Type with name Article. Add to this, Title and HtmlBody. Check in Full-text the Include display text and Include body parts. Also, in HtmlBody check the Include this element in the index, Stored, Analyzed
• I Create a new Content Type with name Articles and I add title HtmlBody and List or Article. I also check all the search related fields as above.
• In the Search section in Lucene Indices, add an index with name Search, standardanalyzer, Any Culture and check Article and Articles
• In search settings, the index is Search and the Default searched fields is Content.ContentItem.FullText. The Allow Lucene queries in search forms is checked

The Run Lucene Query seems to work well. As I get some results

In security Anonymous role I have give access with check the Query Lucene Search Index and Query Lucene Api

Now when I try to access the search page, I get the message «Search is not configured».

After some digging I found in OrchardCore.Modules\OrchardCore.Lucene\Controllers\SearchController.cs that the searchSettings.SearchIndex is null
Any help?
What I'm doing Wrong

PS: if anyone can provide a video how to configure and use the search with paging with Accent insensitive Case insensitive in non-English language, within Razor pages I will be grateful

Seems the search index doesn't exist, @Skrypt any idea?

You need to go to the search settings and save the form once. I think the issue is that we don't have defaults settings in that case.

But the form has been saved. When I visit it (search / settings / search) I see that it is there. Default search index = Search, Default searched fields = Content.ContentItem.FullText and Allow Lucene queries in search forms = true

This is the ViewModel defaults.

There is probably an issue there but the fact that searchSettings.SearchIndex = null and that Allow Lucene queries in search forms is checked seems to indicate that the form has been saved once but there was no index created beforehand. If this is the case then we should not allow saving this form if there is no index created first.

Ok I will open an issue

No need, I just tested this and it's fine. It's just a misunderstanding. The search settings can be saved when there is no index created. It saves a null value in the searchSettings.SearchIndex and displays a notification message saying this :

Then, the issue is that you created the index after saving the search settings simply.
