[ic] Search Problem

[kerry]

OK, I thought I had solved the search problem, but on adding more sku's to
the products.txt file and uploading, I am back to the same problem. I am
using 5.6.1 with the standard cart.
The problem seems to be in the text file I upload and it's conversion to
mysql database. I am using Open Office spreadsheet for viewing, making
changes, etc. It allows me to save in the Tab delimited format needed. I
can see all the items in the sql database and in the products.txt file
after uploading. I can only see about 1/2 the items in the file on an open
end search. I have found a way to make the new items show up in the
search, but it seems like a very slow process. I have close to 4000 items
in the database. If I edit each entry from the products.txt table, without
really making any changes to the data, the item shows up when searched
for. It seems like the process is forcing  re-read that puts the data in a
happy mode for the database. What I am wondering is if there is another
method to accomplish what I am doing with the edit command?

Thanks,
Kerry
