OK. And if this is the case, as it seems to be, what can I do to get
the search component to work completely again? This (the incomplete
results on a search) began recently and I've done nothing differently,
no new setups, no new anything.
To recap, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the extensions. Republished
the entire site from my hard disk, overwriting all the files.
Recalculated the hyperlinks *many* times. Reinstalled the search
component. I'm reaching the end of my wits.
