Hi Hoa,

Good to hear you are making progress.

Kete has two components that have to know about an item; the web application with its mysql database and the Zebra search index engine.  In any results page (and related items area, too), Zebra is actually being asked for its results rather than mysql.  A process of synchronization happens between the web application and Zebra for each item when it is added or updated.  If this process fails, then the item can "disappear" and appear as if it doesn't exist.  In most cases there is a record of the item in the mysql database, but it has failed to be created in the Zebra index.

My suspicion is that your item is not making it into Zebra and you still have a fundamental problem (effecting Zebra every time you try to add or edit a record) with your Zebra configuration.  Check your zebra log at log/zebra.log and look for failure being reported.

The good news is that once you address this fundamental issue with the Zebra syncing, you'll be able to "rebuild search databases" and get all your previous items back.

Could you send along your Zebra log please?

Cheers,
Walter
