Knowledge base search not returning any results

Hello everyone,

The knowledge base search on our prod instance doesn't return any results. I search for words that I know are in the articles and nothing comes up. Interestingly enough, we cloned our prod instance onto our dev instance a month or so ago, and the search works fine there. Does anyone have any ideas on where I could start to look?

This should do it:


  1. Navigate to System Definition > Dictionary.
  2. Open the dictionary entry for the table (kb_knowledge).
  3. Click the Generate Text Index related link and click OK.

Hello @Tim Deniston 
@bhuvan 
When you proceed with this step, you will be told, "one will be created after the dictionary text index flag is set to true."
Do I need to manually turn "dictionary text index flag" into Ture before this step?

I have provided the details in other thread
