AjaxSearch wont work!

for some reason my AjaxSearch wont work.
installed a fresh copy of 1,6 egsactly as it sais in the readme.

when i try searching something it comes up telling me that it didnt find anything
i set the searchable flag on all my main pages - the detail pages have it disabled.
yet the words im searching all appear on the main pages (aswell as the subpages)

the snippet call is: [!AjaxSearch? &ajaxSearchType=1!]

plz help

Hi enigma,

Which version of AjaxSearch do you use ? The version 1.6 delivered with Modx 0.9.6.1 ? or an another version ?

Which character set do you use it for your page, your database and how is configured your connection charset in your config.inc.php file in the include directory.

modx 0.9.6
updated ajax search to 1,6

charsets
utf-8 and latin1

Just a reminder folks, unless the content you are looking for appears directly in the pagetitle, description, or content field, it isn’t searchable via this tool.

hmm, basicly what i have is a snippet on each page that generates the content and returns it in html.
its all dynamic

thus it wont work like this?

if so, is there a way to maybe set a description from the snippet currently displaying the page content?

additionally: i just did a quick test by adding a description and searching that.
as soon as it starts searching i see a result, but that box that comes up then gets smaller again and the result vanishes
any medicine for this?

Hi enigma

I confirm that the snippet AjaxSearch 1.6 patched with Modx 0.9.6.1 do not work when you have a page in UTF-8 and the database in latin-1. I do some tests and i find the same results as you.

Few days before, i have developped a version 1.6.2 of the AjaxSearch, but unfortunately, i haven’t anticipate that the charset of pages and database could be different Look at : http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,5357.301.html

I will correct this trouble in the next release (1.6.3) but i need some time
