SuiteCRM 8 Basic Search for Events not working

[pstevens]

I’m trying to do a basic search for the “name” of an Event in the events module.

I can’t get it to work. (note: I don’t have elastic search setup, I’m using basic search).

I’ve enabled “Events” as a search module in Admin search settings.

Nothing seems to work.

I’ve tried alot of the suggestions of adding specific fields to unified search = true and still does not work.

I’ve also tried in the Demo installaion and it doesn’t seem to work there either.

Beginning to think this is a bug. Cany anyone else confirm? (I’ve tried it on a few installs with the same result).

I should also note, it works fine on SuiteCRM 7.

Anyone know a fix?

Maybe in config_override.php, you can set these.

$sugar_config[‘enable_legacy_search’][4] = ‘Cases’;

$sugar_config[‘search’][‘defaultEngine’] = ‘BasicSearchEngine’;

@pstevens , what version are you using? I tried on beta 8.8 by enabling Event module in the search settings and it worked for me. It is displaying the event record.

Thanks RSP, there were a few issues. There was a custom searchdefs.php file that was causing problems. Not sure if that was created by me or automatically by some other process of customzation. Anyway I removed that file and resorted to default search which now works. I added back a new custom working SearchFields.php with adding a few additional fields, and now it works.
