ellie,
Currently, I'm using the squat search engine which was copied from my old mail system. Oddly enough, the squat syntax I was using in my cyrusd.conf, which used to work 2.5 no longer works for 3.4.2 which explains why the server-side searches aren't working for my new install.
Before I went to sleep last night I decided to try the Xapian search engine to see if that fixes anything. I managed to rebuild Cyrus with Xapian support so I'll try it out today.
Oddly enough looking at the source code imapd/index.c I found this bit of code. I only moonlight as a sysadmin and I'm actually a software developer and this looks pretty odd to me.
EXPORTED int index_search(struct index_state *state,
struct searchargs *searchargs,
int usinguid)
{
search_query_t *query = NULL;
search_folder_t *folder;
int nmsg = 0;
int i;
modseq_t highestmodseq = 0;
int r;
/* update the index */
if (index_check(state, 0, 0))
return 0;
highestmodseq = needs_modseq(searchargs, NULL);
query = search_query_new(state, searchargs);
r = search_query_run(query);
if (r) goto out; /* search failed */
folder = search_query_find_folder(query, index_mboxname(state));
if (folder) {
if (!usinguid)
search_folder_use_msn(folder, state);
if (highestmodseq)
highestmodseq = search_folder_get_highest_modseq(folder);
nmsg = search_folder_get_count(folder);
}
else
nmsg = 0;
struct searchargs *searchargs,
int usinguid)
{
search_query_t *query = NULL;
search_folder_t *folder;
int nmsg = 0;
int i;
modseq_t highestmodseq = 0;
int r;
/* update the index */
if (index_check(state, 0, 0))
return 0;
highestmodseq = needs_modseq(searchargs, NULL);
query = search_query_new(state, searchargs);
r = search_query_run(query);
if (r) goto out; /* search failed */
folder = search_query_find_folder(query, index_mboxname(state));
if (folder) {
if (!usinguid)
search_folder_use_msn(folder, state);
if (highestmodseq)
highestmodseq = search_folder_get_highest_modseq(folder);
nmsg = search_folder_get_count(folder);
}
else
nmsg = 0;
if (searchargs->returnopts) {
begin_esearch_response(state, searchargs, usinguid, folder, nmsg);
if (nmsg) {
if (searchargs->returnopts & SEARCH_RETURN_ALL) {
struct seqset *seq = search_folder_get_seqset(folder);
if (seq->len) {
char *str = seqset_cstring(seq);
prot_printf(state->out, " ALL %s", str);
free(str);
}
seqset_free(seq);
}
if (searchargs->returnopts & SEARCH_RETURN_RELEVANCY) {
prot_printf(state->out, " RELEVANCY (");
for (i = 0; i < nmsg; i++) {
if (i) prot_putc(' ', state->out);
/* for now all messages have relevancy=100 */
prot_printf(state->out, "%u", 100);
}
prot_printf(state->out, ")");
}
esearch_modseq_response(state, searchargs, folder, highestmodseq);
}
}
else {
prot_printf(state->out, "* SEARCH");
Basically, if searchargs->returnopts is non-zero actually do the search otherwise return "* SEARCH" telling the client that there were no search results.
If the switch over to Xapian search doesn't fix my issue my next move is to build this thing in debug mode set breakpoints and just step through this thing to see what is up with returnopts. At the very least I can look at the call stack to determine what is setting returnopts and why I'm getting zero here.
Thanks,
Chris
