maybe the topic has been broad up a bit often by you already? This post
is even a new thread which doesn't help at all. A sentence like "does
not work" is also not helpful. Is the content indexed?

Anyhow being readonly at your threads I still wonder which setup to you
got because you run into problems I never have seen. Same at forge in
your recently submitted report [1]

You sound like indexed_search is the most awesome search experience you
can have! That is certainly not true. There are alternatives which can
hardly be reached by indexed_search. The reason is simply because the
alternative is made for search and uses something really useful.

Yes indexed_search could be improved a lot but in the end, it still
won't be a competitor to solr & co.

not true.

are there any unit tests for indexed search? I doubt.

If any product fits better for your needs, please use it!

However solr is an awesome tool (not only the extension itself but the
product I am talking about) which can be used to fulfill things you will
*never* get with indexed_search.

And yes it is not that hard to set it up, no matter if working on
windows or unix and there are also TYPO3 hosters which did that work
already for you.
