Description

The FE plugin of indexed_search doesn't show any external urls which start with http:// or https:// (or any other protocol).
These URLs have been added to the index correctly (via crawler).

The reason for that is in class.tx_indexedsearch.php in line 1247 ff. in function checkExistance($row).

The check is done for any paths with is_file() in line 1250. is_file() returns always 0 if used with urls like "http://google.de/".

To solve this problem you can use this alternative checkExistance() implementation:

    function checkExistance($row) {
        $recordExists = TRUE;    // Always expect that page content exists
        if ($row['item_type']) {        // External media:
      if(preg_match('/^http(s)?:\/\//',$row['data_filename'])){
         $ch = curl_init($row['data_filename']);
         curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
         curl_exec($ch);
         $recordExists = (curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE)==200);
      }
      else {
              if (!is_file($row['data_filename']) || !file_exists($row['data_filename'])) {
                  $recordExists = FALSE;
              }
      }
        }
        return $recordExists;
    }

But this implementation is very slow because each external url of the search results will be checked with one http request.

I created an extension sms_indexedsearch_fixexternals to fix this bug. In this extension you can enable or disable the checking of http(s) URLs in the extension configuration.

If you use config.absRefPrefix = http://bla.com all file-links get prepended with this scheme + hostname. Together with the bug from above this leads to correctly indexed files which never get shown within the search-result as these files are skipped, too.

So either the final solution should involve an additional check, if a file-url really is external or not – and then decide if the existance is checked via curl or file_exists.
Or the existance-check should be completely removed or only activateable via ext-config.

I think the check should be removed as it is job of the editors to keep the pages and links uptodate – it's not the job of a search-result-process. Nowadays we have the linkvalidator-extension which is runable via scheduler every night which can remind the editor of broken links.

In my opinion plugin which displays search should trust, that data which is in the index is valid. It's a responsibility of indexer to update the data.
So I'm opting for removal of the check.

btw, In extbase version the check is already gone.

The patch set 3 is functioning.
The issue was found in TYPO3 6.2.19 and below versions. There was an issue with the pagination too. Updates were made to the SearchFormController.php file. Now the search of indexed external urls and pagination are functioning properly.

Why is it not implemented to the core file yet? When can we expect the updates.

Hi Minu,
Thanks for your report.
I believe the fix was applied only to TYPO3 7 as TYPO3 6.2 has entered the support phase where only priority bugfixes are applied.
See the roadmap:
https://typo3.org/typo3-cms/roadmap/

There was an issue with the pagination too. Updates were made to the SearchFormController.php file.

Not sure what do you mean.

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback. Now its clear about the updates.

The total result count and the display of pagination was showing incorrectly. This issue was also automatically fixed when patch was added.
