Search API not Indexing

[Guy Armitage]

Hi all,

Been testing out the new Search API. Since we already have data on the system I've written a several commands, each to refresh the search indexes for given searchable objects.

It works fine on the the development platform, but doesn't index any instances when deployed to GAE {shows no Search Stored Data in the dashboard and doesn't perform search as intended on the data).

I know search is currently beta, but I want to make sure this issue is not on my side. 

Please find below a simplified version of the code I am using (for the sake of simplicity I've removed some of the fields I am indexing)

Thanks in advance for any help

        .... 

       Builder builder = Document.newBuilder().setId("" + collection.getId());

       builder.addField(Field.newBuilder()

       .setName(MediaCollectionDAO.INDEXED_FIELD_NAME)

       .setText(collection.getName()));

       Document profileDoc = builder.build();

       addToIndex(profileDoc, collection.getId(), 0);

        ....

public void addToIndex(Document profileDoc, Long collectionId, int i) {

try {

// Add the document.

getIndex().add(profileDoc);

} catch (AddException e) {

if (StatusCode.TRANSIENT_ERROR.equals(e.getOperationResult()

.getCode())) {

if (i < MAX_RETRIES) {

addToIndex(profileDoc, collectionId, i++);

} else {

logger.warning("Unable to index collection " + collectionId

+ " in search");

}

}

}

}
