Forum rules What to do if you have a technical problem with OCS:
1. Search the forum. You can do this from the Advanced Search Page or from our Google Custom Search, which will search the entire PKP site. If you are encountering an error, we especially recommend searching the forum for said error.
2. Check the FAQ to see if your question or error has already been resolved. Please note that this FAQ is OJS-centric, but most issues are applicable to both platforms.
3. Post a question, but please, only after trying the above two solutions. If it's a workflow or usability question you should probably post to the OCS Conference Support and Discussion subforum; if you have a development question, try the OCS Development subforum.
I face a problem where the system always return a no results response. Here is what I have done, I have created a conference using the latest installment of OCS and index my page in the appropriate section, and yet it returns no results.
I wonder if I should have re-configure in order to correctly search for any data.
Note that search results are cached, so if you've only just published content, it may not appear until the cache expires. You can reset the cache manally through the Site Administrator's interface.

I have just cleared the data with the clear data caches function on the Site Administration webpage. However, I was still not able to search the conference. For instance, I entered a word from the title in the search field, but it returns a no results again. Also, I wonder where I should run the command that you have suggested. Locally? Using the terminal(with mac)?
The command needs to be run on the server side via a terminal. Let me know if that fixes the problem. (Just to confirm, the content you're searching is published for reading by non-priveleged users, correct?)

I am not familiar with using commands. Can you explain me how can I execute this command with MAC? Oh, and yes, it is for any users who wish to find a conference using the sidebar navigation.
You need to run this command on the terminal on the web server, so you'll need to connect to it via SSH (secure shell). If your host allows that, they should be able to provide instructions.
Once you're connected, go into the directory that contains OJS, and run:
