No search manager configured for this workspace

Symptoms

You open Crx Content Explorer and click Search icon. In the search dialog an error appears such as:

Error: javax.jcr.RepositoryException: no search manager configured for this workspace

Cause

The default installation of Crx/Communiqué does not configure a search manager for the workspaces. If you look in crx_home/workspaces/your_workspace/worspace.xml you will see that there is no search manager configured:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Workspace name="live_author">
        <!--
        virtual file system of the workspace:
        class: FQN of class implementing FileSystem interface
        -->
<FileSystem class="com.day.crx.core.fs.local.LocalFileSystem">
    <param name="path" value="${wsp.home}"/>
    <!-- param name="enableHandleMonitor" value="true" / -->
</FileSystem>

        <!--
        persistence manager of the workspace:
        class: FQN of class implementing PersistenceManager interface
        --><PersistenceManager class="com.day.crx.persistence.DerbyPersistenceManager"/>

        <!--
        Search index and the file system it uses.
        -->
</Workspace>

Resolution

If you want to use the search function of Crx Content Explorer you need to configure it manually. Here is how to do this:

• open file crx_home/workspaces/your_workspace/worspace.xml
• add the following between <workspaces>

   <!--
  Search index and the file system it uses.
  -->
  <SearchIndex class="com.day.crx.query.lucene.LuceneHandler">
    <param name="useCompoundFile" value="true"/>
    <param name="minMergeDocs" value="1000"/>
    <param name="maxMergeDocs" value="100000"/>
    <param name="mergeFactor" value="10"/>
    <param name="path" value="${wsp.home}/index"/>
  </SearchIndex>

• Restart your instance
