Just yesterday, we started experiencing a new problem which is preventing SiteSearch from indexing properly. Since this feature is used quite a bit, we're trying to get this back up asap.

When running the indexing routine, here are the errors we see:
_______________________________________

I'm working with the local systems guys on the lack of permissions to the session directory, but it appears that processing involving powerpoint presentations is causing issues.

For sitesearch purposes, it is OK if powerpoint presentations (or uploaded documents for that matter) are ignored if the metadata are included in search.

To get straight to the point, if my primary goal is to get indexing of ordinary pages operational again asap, what is the best thing for me to do? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,

function process ($text) {
    return "";
    // the rest of the code
}

To get it running again quickly if you want to skip the indexing of the contents, you could just do a return ""; a the start of the extraction. The file is inc/app/sitesearch/lib/Extractors/PPT.php and you would put that just inside the process() method like this:

function process ($text) {
    return "";
    // the rest of the code
}

Problem has been solved -- after I disabled docs and pdfs as well as ppts in the extractors, everything I needed came up. Everything is good, so thanks for pointing me in that direction
