[Doxygen-users] Make server side search work

[Fabian C. <Cen...@in...>]

Hi

We put the doxygen generated documentation on a server and used
the client side search previously. However some words could not be
found as the client side search is not a full text search. That's why
we now wanted to switch to server side search to get better results.

The server is a linux with Apache with php, we also have e.g. MantisBT
(bugtracker) and DocuWiki running on the same server, so php (7) is
running fine. The documentation is generated on a different computer
and then the whole html directory (output from doxygen) is copied
to the live server.

But when I try to search for something no results are returned, just
like in this question:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48440476/doxygen-server-side-searching-does-not-work

These are the options from my Doxyfile:

SEARCHENGINE           = YES
SERVER_BASED_SEARCH    = YES
EXTERNAL_SEARCH        = NO
SEARCHENGINE_URL       =
SEARCHDATA_FILE        = searchdata.xml

In the html/search directory is a search.idx file with all the text strings.
I don't see errors in the logfiles in /var/log/.

Is something else needed? Is there some debugging I can enable?

Thanks
