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
