Full text search - Elasticsearch (v27.0.4/8.10.4) doesn't return results

Hey everyone,

I have elasticsearch 8.10.4 running on my server and the in the elasticsearch app (v27.0.4) is set to the same settings as the elasticsearch.yml. Nevertheless I am not able to get any search results by elasticsearch.
I indexed the files with “occ fulltextsearch:index” then I ran “occ fulltextsearch:test” and it crashed by trying to search the basic keywords:

root@xxx:# /opt/plesk/php/8.2/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/xxx/httpdocs/nextcloud/occ fulltextsearch:test

Im running on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS, Nextcloud 27.1.2 with Full text search v27.0.2, Full text search - Elasticsearch Platform v27.0.4 and Full text search - Files v27.0.1.

I also tried to reinstall elasticsearch on the server, but that didn’t solve the problem. It worked on Ubuntu 18.04 and elasticsearch 7.17.14.

I am running out of ideas how to fix it and didn’t found any topic about it. Any help is apprechiated. Thank you! :blush:

Did you try to delete and reset the existing index?

Oh that fixed it for me! Thank you! :smile:

Did run into the same issue with 27.1.4 now on two machines.

After reset test ist running be reindex does not. It just checks some files and stops then. There are no errors shown. Seems to be broken at the moment.
