I just did a test update from Joomla 1.7.5 to joomla 2.5.1 of my site using the Joomla update function.

But for some reason the new Smart Search component is not showing up in the Joomla admin menu along with all the other componentens.

I know the component is there because I can access it using this URL:

/administrator/index.php?option=com_finder

But it is not showing up in the menu, does someone know what has gone wrong?

Go to the Extension Manager's Database view and click the Fix icon.

Yes I have done that, that was the first thing I did after updating since I got an error message that the database wasn´t update. And after that it says everything is fine but the Smart Search component is missing.

Go to the Extension Manager and on the Discover view, see if any extensions aren't installed. Install them if so.

I have just updated from 2.5.1 to 2.5.2, and Smart Search is missing from the list of components. Plug-in is enabled, have fixed database, purged cache, used Discover, all to no avail. Any other suggestions about how to get finder/smart search to show up?

Thanks.

Yes it is a bug, does someone know if it will be fixed in 2.5.3?

I thought Joomla 2.5.3 would be a larger bug update but it is only a security update so it is natural that this bug isn´t fixed. Maybe Joomla 2.5.4 will be a larger bug update.

I'm having same problem. Smart Search in not in Admin menu. I can see it in Extensions > Components but there is no info other than the title; eg, version, date, author are missing. Just upgrade to 2.5.3 but that does not fix issue.

That is not related to the problem we are having.

It is a bug, as simple as that, we are now waiting for Joomla 2.5.4.

2.5.4 doesn't solve the problem.

The same thing has happend to me now with the new com_joomlaupdate component after i updated to Joomla 2.5.4. It does not show up in the components menu.

But if I enter the link manually: /administrator/index.php?option=com_joomlaupdate

Then I can see the new component!

I have also updated to Joomla 2.5.3, but I have not used Smart Search before and was not able to find it under plug-ins to enable it. BUT what mbabker recommended to look for it under Extension Manager / Discover worked for me and I did find it there and installed it. Only problem now is while trying to Index my article pages under component, indexing completes but no content is found! Could that be part of the bug ? or am I missing something else ?

Just jumping in here, I am working on a Joomla 2.5.4 site and the Smart Search is missing also, I was able to manually enter the following URL to access the Smart Search system:

yoursite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_finder

Remember that Smart Search was previously called "Finder" before it was integrated into the Joomla core...

That has worked for me on a Joomla 2.5.8 . But does anyone knows a permanent solution that shows the component??

Yes, I have the same problem, and found a simple solution that allows you to see the smart search component in the menu. For some reason this menu item has not been created so just go to the menu table in the database, and duplicate or alter the "com_search" item menu. Just change:

title = "com_finder"
alias = "Finder"
link = "?option=com_finder"
component_id = "27" (you can find it in "extensions" table with the name of "extension_id")

But then the old search component dissapears from the menu.

Could someone put togheter a command we can run in PHPMyAdmin to fix this?
