I am new to JabRef and enjoying very much so far. But I encounterd a problem.
System
JabRef 5.9–2023-01-08–76253f1a7
Windows 10 10.0 amd64
Java 19.0.1
JavaFX 19+11
Setup
remote database used by around 5 peopls
MYSQL
the files are all stored in a single folder on a NAS
as of now there are approximately 250 pdf articles in this folder and in the JabRef Databse
Question
I have a question regarding the fulltext search. I decided to use JabRef as it seemed to offer a really good fulltext search and it also seemed to work. At one point it felt like the fulltext search is not working anymore at all. Now I have some questions regarding my use cases.
are the indexes locally, because a co-worker seems to have a working fulltext search by accessing the same database as I do. On his machine the fulltext search seems to work properly
is there any way to test the full text search apart from trial and error?
I think indexes are stored locally, but I don’t know where. Everytime users upgrade to a new version of JabRef, a new full-text index is created. This is, because usually in between JabRef versions, the search backend is upgraded to a newer version and these indexes are not backwards compatible.
Hmm. Tough issue.
Maybe you could compare your settings with your colleagues settings under options / file > preferences > linked files and also under library > library properties > override default file directories
Thank you for your suggestion. I did not know this option as of now. I tried this and it takes approximately 2seconds which seems to fast to me, also it did not help, even after a restart of JabRef

Does anyone have an idea what this could cause?
It still does not run of course and I crosschecked with the application DocFetcher. It delivers fully different results but results which are to be expected. When I look at the results from JabRef it feels like, even though I have FullText Search ennabled it only searched the abstracts from the entries but not the .pdf itself.
