Hi. I've installed Post Indexer and Global Site Search and all seems fine except the results for pages are linking to a post type of url (eg. mysite.com/2010/defaultcategory/1234.) instead of to the page's actual url. And this 'post' url leads to 'page cannot be found' results.
1. Please could you tell me how to fix this.
FYI:
a) The results for Posts are fine - their urls work. Only 'pages' have problems.
b) Google search works fine on our site for Posts and Pages
c) Default WP Search works fine for Posts and Pages
Two other queries:
2. is there a way to get the Global Site Search to actually search GLOBALLY (and not just search those posts/pages that have been published since installation)? I tried the 'update page' option someone suggested in a related post, but it didn't work.
3. is there a way to rather get the Custom Image (or similar) for that particular page/post to display on the left of the results rather than the blog image?

4. There seems to be no widget for Global Site Search. Pls can you tell me exactly what to insert in the sidebar in order to have the Search field display there instead of users constantly having to go to a separate page to search?
I'll ask Barry to take a look at this one with you.
Can you try resaving the permalinks setting page? Sometimes these things just need to be reset in order to function - though it's odd that the google search method works.
Also, can we have a link to your site to see this in action?
As we haven't heard anything for awhile on this one I'm marking it as resolved. Should ya have the need for further instruction, please 'reopen' this thread and we'll continue to take a look.
You can always alternatively open up a new thread.

Sorry - I have one more query:

Thanks!

Hi bluex2!
Are you still experiencing this issue?
If so please let us have your web site URL so we can see it in action and help to troubleshoot.
Thanks!

I have no success at all.
The local "site search" for the single sites work perfect, but the Global, even the widget returns nothing for all new posts or pages.
What am I doing wrong?

Hiya ecogreen,
Do you have post indexer installed and activated? It's required for this plugin to work and doesn't index past posts...
