Search problems and how to fix

After installing eZ 3.2 we experienced problems with the searches. Both the admin and the user searches would not return any results.

This is now working, firstly I followed these instructions for reindexing :
http://ez.no/content/view/full/24804

A problem occured here with the script just silently dying, this was fixed by setting up memory_limit in php.ini to 128M temporarily.

After successfully reindexing the database, the searches were as dead as ever, and turning on debug output showed that I had not given all the necessary rights in my mysql database (eZ could not create temporary tables and thus failed to search). After giving the proper rights searches now work again.

Hope this will be of use to someone :)
