English Wikipedia search results missing in action
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Instance of bug

All searches on the English Wikipedia return no (zero) results. Apparently it's been disabled, but the reason is not given in the server admin log (see https://wikitech.leuksman.com/view/Server_admin_log).

Sample queries:
*http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&ns0=1&search=john+howard&fulltext=Advanced+search
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=opportunity+mars+rover&go=Go
*http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=wikipedia&ns0=1&ns2=1&fulltext=Search
*http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=john+howard

Possibly relevant server admin log entries:

(October 7) 15:00-16:00 robert: switched enwiki to lucene-search 2.1 running on new servers. Test run till tomorrow, if anything goes wrong, reroute search_pool_1 to old searchers on lvs3. Will switch on spell checking when all of the servers are racked. Thanks RobH for tunning config files.
(October 8) 19:02 mark: Upgraded packages on search1 - search6 and searchidx1

Works fine on Commons, see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=opportunity+mars+rover&go=Go and meta, see http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=test+search .

The Go button works as expected, except if there isn't an exact match on the page title (sample query 2). Then you get a red link and no results (as per above).
