Does the search and advanced search works?

The new advanced search view relies on a PRECALCULATED INDEX to get its results very fast

Well, when you declare a field as advanced searchable -- the advanced search indexer (BACKEND) must be recreated (we click button "Index")
-- after that the indexer is updated automatically every time an item is created / edited or an existing item version is approved

but some things were broken:

In r923, i have fixed advanced search indexer so that it

1. works with core fields (although values not shaped everywhere e.g for tags it stores id)
# works with item versioning enabled and with version approval
# its speed is improved many times by using e.g 50 items per AJAX call

but need to test it now, hopefully it will be working on next beta release

That sounds really nice. A faster search is awesome. Will this be in FlexiContent 2.0 as well?

Also, can't build the search index in FlexiContent 2.0.

It is the same in both FC ,
besides speed the bonuses are
-- to search any flexicontent field that supports advance search (not just title and description)
-- and also being able to output any flexicontent field in the result item list, not just title

Nice When you search in FlexiContent content with Joomlas regular search, you get the non-SEF links directly to the articles. Will FlexiContent's search allow to link to the SEF URLs instead?

For enhancing joomla regular search with fields besides title and description and for getting SEF links check this thread:

Right now, when I use the FlexiContent search I get no results at all — either text nor title field are advanced searchable, I just get 0 results whatever I search for.

When I search using the advanced search view I just get a list of all the categories on my site with the headline FLEXI_ITEM.

I'm using FlexiContent 2 beta4 r934 and Joomla 1.7.
