Nextcloud version _(eg, 20.0.5)_: 18.0.14 \> 21.0.1 Operating system and version _(eg, Ubuntu 20.04)_: Synology Web Station Apache or nginx version _(eg, Apache 2.4.25)_: Apache 2.4 PHP version _(eg, 7.4)_: 7.3 \> 7.4 The issue you are facing: When I open Nextcloud, I see groups that have been shared by other users as well as group folders that are accessible to me. But when I use search, it only shows search results from the shared folders and not from the group folders. Underneath it says “Search other places” with the rotating circle. How can I also search groups? Thanks for any advice. Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? _(Y/N)_: N Steps to replicate it: 1. Open Nextcloud 2. Search for term that matches a file name in group folder 3. The file is not found ---

Hi, I am just guessing because you are missing a lot of info about your server but is this maybe your issue? [Files in group folders don´t get indexed in search when user/group has no sharing rights · Issue #1033 · nextcloud/groupfolders · GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/groupfolders/issues/1033) Apart from this there is no open issue regarding search in the groupfolders repository, afaics. ---

Many thanks for your response. What additional information would be important? It is the WebStation of a Synology NAS. I have now activated sharing for the admins group as a test. And after that had no effect, the group folders were also re-read in via occ groupfolders: scan. Have I generally restricted the sharing of provided content too much? The content should not be able to be shared by users. The other users should not be visible. ![2021-04-15-09-51-42](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/0/403f6f6636e3c80a565622203fa947b63015d8d9.png) ![2021-04-15-09-53-02](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/6/0/601a222e1993a965b26115f7f7c696fa7c7c2424.png) ![2021-04-15-10-10-12](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/b/4b68634150ac5ed4f2499bbd3fd5eaebc7579e46.png) ![2021-04-15-10-05-42](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/5/25384fd3d03367efea9cc8a7046edb81bb7c23aa.png) ---

Good afternoon @Geronimo82 How are you? So, before anything try this: **(If your httpd user is not www-data, change it (eg, apache))** **1)** sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ maintenance:mode --on **2)** chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/nextcloud/ **3)** chmod -R 770 /var/www/nextcloud/ **4)** sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ maintenance:repair **5)** sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ db:add-missing-columns **6)** sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ db:add-missing-indices **7)** sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ maintenance:update:htaccess **8)** sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ maintenance:mode --off **9)** sudo systemctl restart apache2 Also, check your php version running **“php -v”** , that can help a lot. Make sure you have php-fpm installed and running. Hope this helps, have a nice weekend. All the best! 😃 ---

Hello @Geronimo82 Did you change your php-fpm settings for a boost perfomance? I recommend you to use [PHP-FPM Process Caluculator](https://spot13.com/pmcalculator/) to calcule your config. After that, do this: vim /etc/opt/remi/php74/php-fpm.d/www.conf pm = dynamic pm.max\_children = 120 pm.start\_servers = 12 pm.min\_spare\_servers = 6 pm.max\_spare\_servers = 18 ---

Okay mate, so if you have 4GB you can actually boost your performance with this config: ![image](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/6/26be2889f6d1e7f71321465f7f4ce1eb5884b900.png) But keep in mind this will not solve you issue, is just for performance. I’am thinking and searching what more we can try to do to resolve your issue here. Good luck man. ---

The file Test.txt in directory Test is my own file and not shared. The Group Folders are shared with admin group with the permission to share them as well because there may be a problem if users are not allowed to share the files shared with them.

Apparently I was able to fix the problem with error 504 by setting the values extremely high, but I still cannot find my test folder and the test file in it (“No search results for test”). How does Nextcloud work with the search? Do you search live or do you create an index in advance? Can and should you reset this if necessary? ---
