Hi there

In my company we want to use Sharepoint's ability to host internal wiki but I have an issue with search results.

When I create new wiki page, text from it's content does not exists in search results.

- indexing aspx page content is set to 'Always index all Web Parts on this site'
- 'SharePoint Server Standard Site features' is activated

But when I add new wiki library app and new wiki library page to it, it's content exists in search results.

In both cases crawl was forced to do an incremental search.

What can be a reason, which settings should I check?

Hi,

try to check if in "Library Settings > Advanced settings" the "Search" option is set to "Yes"

Hi Fabio and thanks for your reply.

For all of my sites this option is set to Yes.

Hi leshqo,

Whether this wiki page existed in the result page if you searched with the page name.

Please go to SharePoint Center Administration, and check the Crawl log to see whether the wiki page was crawled in the related content source.

Please do a full crawl to the content source, and compare the result.

In addition, make sure that you enabled 'Always index all Web Parts on this site' at the site that hosted the wiki page.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi Wendy

1. Searching for page name doesn't give ane results.
2. Every of my wiki pages exists in crawl logs as indexed.
3. Full crawl is triggered every time some page is added.
4.Option 'Always index all Web Parts on this site' is also enabled.

So I'm still looking for solution.

Hi leshqo,

Did this issue occur on the only wiki page library?

As your question description, when you created a new wiki library, the search was ok. Please check the different of the two wiki llibraries.

It may be cuased by the wiki library that cannot be searched by some reasons.

Thanks,

Hi Wendy

The issue occures only for wiki pages. For pages added to wiki library app everything works fine.

Did you find anything? Im facing the same problems.

Thanks

I seem to facing the same problem, too -- although it's an Enterprise Wiki in my case. Any progress?

Unfortunately the issue still occures and I wasn't able to find any working solution

I am not receiving zero results, but very few hits. Most of the contents of wiki articles are not showing up in search results.

I have the same problem.

On my SharePoint 2013 on-premise farm, I create a Site collection with Enterprise wiki template. 10 enterprise wiki pages were created. I have reset the index and full crawl the site. I can find every page in the crawl log.

However, whatever keyword I tried (e.g. search "*") only two pages return as results. The other 8 pages cannot be searched out whatever I tried. The 8 pages are crawled according to crawl history.

Why? Is it a "feature"?

I was running into the same issue- I Reindexed the Library of pages and it seems to be working now. The option is under Advanced Settings. 

In the crawl log, I found follow error:

The content processing pipeline failed to process the item. ( Index  was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection

After some investigation, it is due to the column "Wiki category". All wiki page has this column and I have checked "allowed mulitple values" checkbox. If I unchecked this checkbox, the search will go smooth.

However, the problem is not solved because I need "Wiki category" to "allowed mulitple values".... I have already enabled "allow mulitple values" for all Managed properties contain the word "wiki".

Thanks for your reply, next week I'll try your solution and describe the results.

Hello leshqo,

Did you manage to get any results out of the solution. If so please let me know the steps you followed as I'm facing a similar issue.

Regards

Rafael
