Search has stopped working for complete and partial SKUs on a site I am in the process of developing, this functionality has previously worked.
Diffing an older .SQL for the site when this worked I can't see any changes to core_config_data that would effect the site in this way.
Search is set to combined and like. SKUs are still searchable from the advanced search page.
Does anyone have any idea what tables that I should should be looking at for changes effecting search behavior? My hunch is that there is some backend change causing this.

Yep, it's catalogsearch_fulltext. Magento fills this table during partial and full reindex of "Catalog Search" index.
BTW, I think the problem is in the attribute's settings. Go to Admin Panel -> Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage attributes -> (chose SKU attribute) -> Use in Quick Search -> Value should be "Yes"
Delete all files under var/locks and then reindex.
Also be sure to check under "Product Information"->General->Visibility that it is set to "Catalog, Search" instead of just "Catalog". If you change settings, you may have to rebuild indexes and refresh cache.

I am using Magento 1.7.0.2 and have set up a new store from scratch. (Have done this before with older versions)
I have been trying to get catalog product filters in my sidebar without any luck. I know this has been asked over and over and the simple answer is to set the 'Is Anchor' option to 'Yes' in the Category setup. I have also set 'Use in Layered Navigation' to 'Filterable (with results)' for all attributes I want to use as filters. Still, the filters do not show up in my sidebar.
When displaying the path hints in my other store, the filters are rendered in 'frontend/default/MY_THEME/template/catalog/layer/view.phtml' but in the new store it looks like this template does not show up at all when showing path hints.
If anyone could point me into the right direction of where to look or how to start finding out what is going on I would be very grateful as I have been stuck for two days now.
After quite some time of researching as well as trial and error I have found that in my case the issue was caused by disabling Flagbit_FactFinder in System > Configuration > Advanced > Disable Modules Output. So if you are having similar problems go to your magento admin panel and check the setting mentioned above.
It is the first time I use Magento. I have installed Magento with a custom theme. When I add category and product from dashboard, they doesn't show up on the website, just a blank content (header, sidebar and footer works fine, more precisely you can see it at here)
I found the added product from sitemap with css gone. What might be the reason for this? Why categories and content doesn't appear on the website? Why css is broken on the product page?
Magento is designed to be as efficient as possible and the learning curve can initally be daunting to people encountering it for the first time. A couple things to try:
Make sure that the category you've created, found in Catalog > Categories > Manage Categories, the option "Include in Navigation Menu" set to yes (this should automatically "create" the navigation bar for you)
In the admin section of your site, navigate to System > Index Management and select all and reindex them all
In the admin section, navigate to System > Cache Management and flush the cache
The last two steps, when developing your site, are sometimes necessary to see the most up to date information on your Magento install. Something which may make your life easier is in the Cache Management page, select all of the cache types and choose to disable them for now. You'll want to re-enable them once you make the site live.
I am developing a new store in CE 1.7.0.2.
I have about 130 categories so far, all placed under a root category.
The root category is also defined in Ststem -> Magage Stores -> Our Store -> Root Category
If I access the Category pages directly, I can see all products and sub categories in breadcrumbs etc, so I know my structure is correct. I know I am missing something simple.
I am using the the modern template for now until I get the site functional, so all the files are original.
EDIT I should also mention that the System -> Config -> Catalog -> Category Top Navigation -> Maximal Depth is set to 1
Any thoughts?
OK -- After many hours of searching I finally figured it out. If you export your products via any script (mine was custom built -- I exported from CE 1.3.2.4) and import them to a later version (1.7.0.2), even though the import goes smoothly, the values for certain things might not make the transition as smoothly. Even though I had set my root category for my store view, my products were not applied to a store. As a result they were there, but not there.
My solution: Catalog -> Manage Products -> Select all -> Actions -> Update Attributes -> Submit .. Once there check your Websites tab. Make sure to "check" your main website button, and click save. Run a full reindex and clear cache (I use SSH and sudo rm -R * inside /var/cache and /var/session directory).
I hope this helps others who have run into the same issue.
Thank you Moldovan Gheorghe Dani for your answer -- Your help is appreciated.
I just tried on my local environment with same version of magento and theme, and i have no problem at all.
I noticed that when you create a new category "Is Active" flag is set to No by default, so make sure that is set to Yes, and "Include in Navigation Menu" is also set to Yes for all categories. If still not work try to refresh cache even if is disabled, and indexes also. I hope that it will help you.
In magento 1.6 i want to sort manually the categories order (categories - manage categories), when the page is ready, i do drag and drop whith the category but after ajax saved if i refresh the page the order change, i look around but i dont have find nothing.
I try also, tried to reindex data but nothing change, why dont work?
I had a similar problem with Magento PE a while back. One thing that helped us was to turn of automatic indexing. Under Admin -> System -> Index Management Click the "Select All" and choose "Change Index Mode". Select "Manual Update" and click Submit.
Go to the Catalog -> Manage Categories section again and move your categories around. Navigate away from the page then come back to ensure that they keep their locations. Go to the Index Management screen again and refresh everything.
When I was experiencing this problem in PE, I turned on sql query logging. Magento appeared to have much less database activity with the indexes set to "Manual Update" as opposed to "Update on Save".

In Magento I took and duplicated a theme and made a few changes to the second one. Called it recipes, removed the price, etc. All worked out fine except! When I add a related product it shows up and says "other featured products". This is what the old theme said.
After some research i am seeing it is pulling this file from the "app/design/frontend/base/template/catalog/product/list folder instead of the theme folder ?

Turn on template/path hints in your administration area:
System -> Config / Advanced -> Developer
This will show you exactly which template and block it belongs to. The product list template you are referring to just renders the products, it's possible the theme does not also include the header in that file.
Alternatively, a quick grep (or search via IDE if you are on Windows) for 'Other Featured Products' is a good solution, since that should be a fairly unique string.
