Hi I rencently installed a bluespice with docker using the official bluespice image, version 4.4.0 All is ok, except the search. I write several articles/pages, but when I try to do a search, it’s impossible to obtain any result. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/bluespice/original/1X/bc9a971d0aa1f2316adf490ee848321d3b031ad4.png) The bar you are looging for is constantly moving without getting any result. My host is Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS Any idea, please? ---

Hello and welcome to the BlueSpice community forums! This actually looks like an issue with the search service. Are there maybe any hints in the logs? ---

can you try running `sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144` and then restarting the container again ---

Hello jas. I tried the command at the host, and after I reboot the container and the result is the same, the search bar progress is showed continually. ---

Hello With the version 4.3.0 don’t exist this problem ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/bluespice/original/1X/d3b3bff7e7196a74183466911636d3183ff654bf.png) ---

But with the version 4.3.0 of BlueSpice (Docker) I obtain another error: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/bluespice/original/1X/f193dd92c101a5a5fe71becdc61ef1c0c5ba6720.png) I would like to repair the search problem of the last version 4.4.0. Thanks in advance. Any idea? ---

Finally, I don´t know why, the search process is working correctly. The only thing that I changed was the parameter vm.max\_map\_count=262144, but with this parameter changed, the result was wrong. Thanks for the tips ---

Hello, I’ve the same problem, SEARCH BAR, with a 4.4.0 installation, no DOCKER, on a Debian 12. This is an update from a 4.2.4. The search bar worked properly before updating. Any suggestions? ---

The search is changed in and from 4.4.0. Before 4.4.0, it was elasticsearch, but 4.4.0 and onwards it is opensearch. Setting `sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144` is important and will be updated in the README.md, thanks for pointing it out. Also to note that container should be given 7-8 minutes to start the opensearch service and rebuild the search indices to update everything and show the correct results. Thank and any other feedback would be appreciated 🙌 ---

Hello. I had this problem sometimes, and the only solution that I to find was to execute the next commands for rebuild the indexes. It’s important that the file /etc/sysctl.conf of host server (Docker Server at my configuration) have the next configuration: vm.max\_map\_count = 262144 If with this modification the problem is not resolved then to execute the next commands inside the bluespice server - the host or either inside the docker container. php /data/www/bluespice/w/extensions/BlueSpiceExtendedSearch/maintenance/initBackends.php --quick php /data/www/bluespice/w/extensions/BlueSpiceExtendedSearch/maintenance/rebuildIndex.php --quick php /data/www/bluespice/w/maintenance/runJobs.php Bye ---
