Elasticsearch: no search results, even after rebuilding the search index (twice)

[FabioPaz]

Hello, there.

After enabling elasticsearch on IPB settings (and rebuilding the search index), the forum search always returns 0 results and any system that use the search, dont work either.

Possible useful info:

• Lastest version of IPB installed
• Elasticsearch version 7.10.2
• ES is running and I'm successfully using it via other software
• PHP ver 8.1
• Nginx
• MariaDB

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you rebuilt the search index since you have done this? Have you also checked to see if you have anything showing in  your system logs?

Hi, @Marc Stridgen

I changed to elasticsearch and rebuild the index. Didnt worked, so I did another rebuild. 

Didnt work, so I changed back to mysql (that worked).

Now that you mention it, yes, a lot of entries like this:
