Smart Search Dialog with Results Issues with newly created Custom Document Type Document
Hello,

I am having an issue with the Smart Search Dialog with Results.

To give some background, the website has 3 different servers/sites, the dev one which is only available to the developers, the staging one which is available internally to test new content before going live, and the live one. To update the staging and live site, the built-in Kentico staging is used.


The issue I am having is that a search result is returning incorrect information for a single, recently created custom document type document on the staging site but not on the dev site.

The title returns '/' and the date returns '1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM' on the staging site.
It returns the correct information on the dev site though.

The document shows up on the staging site and I can manually navigate to it, but when the document is searched for it returns the wrong information. Other documents built with this custom document type show up correctly in the search results.

Any help figuring out why the search is returning the incorrect information on one site but not another would be greatly appreciated!

-Christine

I figured out the problem, the document and the new search index were not being brought over correctly. It is fixed now

RE:Smart Search Dialog with Results Issues with newly created Custom Document Type Document
I am having this exact same issue. My smart search results will often display the page name as "/", no description even though there is content on the page and the date will be 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM.

I've been fiddling with the search index but I cannot see what is going wrong. Can you explain what you did to the search index that corrected this issue?

Not sure if this is what the OP did but I suggest checking out your Document Type search properties. You can find them here CMSSiteManager>Development>Document types>YourDocType>Search fields. When you're in there click the Help icon and it will give you a description of what the fields are and do.
