How to enable Elasticsearch to all the users (including non admin) about fulltextsearch

[kevinkuan1969]

Using command below to check the difference between the two documents from successful user vs non successful user. The non successful user who cannot return any result from Elasticsearch contains NULL value in User field.

sudo -u www-data php occ fulltextsearch:document:platform files

we do have the same error with nextcloud 27.0.2 and elasticsearch:8.8.1.

@kevinkuan1969 have you been able to get fulltext search to work with non admin useres?

I’ve really been chasing this bug for 2 weeks now and I can now reproduce it too…

The problem is the user and/or groupname!

user:
test = working
test3 = working
test 3 = not working
Test_3 = not working…

group:
testgroup, test3group = working
test group = is not working

The username has to be a simple string of letters and numbers, as soon as there is a special character, a space or something else, the fulltext search no longer works!

It looks like this also breaks search for LDAP users. With a fresh install, search only works for some locally created users, and returns no results for LDAP users. This might be caused by the fact that LDAP users in my instance have user ids like 60F6372C-F199-4C5E-904F-287360B07F46.

The problem is easy to reproduce. Install AIO with the Fulltext-Search enabled. Create two users, one named "local" and one named "local-user". Log in with both users so that documents exist and create the index afterwards by calling

occ fulltextsearch:index

This works without errors, but searching (e.g. for term yours) only works for user "local", regardless if you search from the command line or the web interface:

dafc642965c4:/var/www/html$ php occ fulltextsearch:SEARCH local yours
search
> Files
 - 2433 score:0
 - 2450 score:0
dafc642965c4:/var/www/html$ php occ fulltextsearch:SEARCH local-test yours
search
> Files
dafc642965c4:/var/www/html$

Does this issue still exist with the latest fulltextsearch releases? There were some changes in regards to indexing and users.
