OK, you're surely right.
If I try "Direct" in your search, there is only a result in English and none in German.
The other way around with "bieten".

What could I change in my site to get the same effect?

[Harald Leithner]

Check you search term, maybe you used the same words in the Article Title?

[Sven]

Well, in some cases the Article Titles are the same in English and German.
In some cases they are different.

But it can find neither English article titles nor aliases nor content text in the English site.
If the German and English Article Titles are the same or not seems to make no differnce.
I tried many different search terms.

[Harald Leithner]

you mean you find no english article on the english site?

thats strange... but your screenshot shows english articles in the index so it have to to find it...

[Sven]

Yes, i don't find any english content (article, menu, ...) on my english site.

Another strange thing:
After having purged my whole index with the result of no entries in my index-list I can still find german articles in my website.
The index (empty or full) seems to have no effect on the searching results.

You may use the wrong frontend component.

Joomla has 2 search engines. Jdiction supports only "seachindex" aka "com_finder" please check this.a

[Sven]

Where do I check this?

[Harald Leithner]

it depends con the menu item.

open this url: index.php?lang=en&option=com_finder&view=search&q=<searchterm>

this would use com_finder


see attachment for correct component.

[Sven]

Obviously this was my mistake.

I had chosen "Search Form or Search Results" and not what you showed in the screenshot.
After having changed it, the search shows english results in the english site.

SOLVED!

Sometimes the search with "searchindex" shows other results compared to those I got before the change.
But this has nothing to do with jDiction and I will check this later.

Thank you for your great support, Harald!!!

[Harald Leithner]

its called "smart search" not "searchindex" was my fault.

smart search is a fulltext search while the normal search is just a string comparison.
