@regisb: can we check that the demo server search configurations are correct? I'm trying to configure the course search in my local environment, but I'm having a bit of trouble, I'm following this documentation to do it: https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/latest/configuration/edx_search.html

This is what I've been doing:

• Enable dashboard search in my local environment with

FEATURES["ENABLE_DASHBOARD_SEARCH"] = True

• Change course enrollment start date to a date in the past
• Reindex course

But when I'm searching for a pattern, let's say: "demo" or anything else, I'm getting 0 results, and while the LMS is making a post request to elasticsearch, the ES service is not logging anything from the search:

Screencast.from.09-12-23.14.44.38.webm

I also set the SEARCH_ENGINE = "search.elastic.ElasticSearchEngine" but I'm still getting the same result.

🤔 I tried to search for a course on the demo server: https://quince.demo.edly.io/courses A search for "demo" yields no result, but looking for "demonstration" does return one result.

Was the issue fixed since it was reported?

[mariajgrimaldi]

The BTR team didn't classify this issue as a release blocker since the learner dashboard MFE is now the default dashboard, but I'll let folks know we've encountered it. In the meantime, I'll try to reproduce it in my local environment.

@mariajgrimaldi, were you able to reproduce this issue locally?

[mariajgrimaldi]

Hi @0x29a, I went on vacation shortly after I published the last comment. I'll try reproducing the issue locally this week or next. Thanks for the patience!

[mariajgrimaldi]

Hi there @0x29a, thanks for your patience. I followed these instructions and made it work in my Tutor nightly environment:

• Configure my search engine as SEARCH_ENGINE = "search.elastic.ElasticSearchEngine" for the LMS/CMS
• Ensure my courses had an enrollment date in the past
• Reindex all courses by running ./manage.py cms reindex_course --all
• Considering what gets indexed, I searched for some subsections:
  
  To be sure this was working in quince, I also tested it in a remote quince environment we have running:
  
  Since this is working, I'll be closing this issue. If something else is found, then we can open a new one.

Thank you very much, @mariajgrimaldi!
