Planning on upgrading to v8. What does the $19.95 "premium support" buy me? (I don't see an explanation.) Does it mean unlimited upgrades for $20 a year? The right to speak to someone?

Hi Everybody,

I wanted to chime in here to let those of you experiencing the X1 Service connection error know that we are actively investigating this issue. As Rhonda mentioned this bug is proving a bit elusive--the dev team has enhanced program logging in an effort to gain some insight into the root of the behavior.

We are very interested to collect details regarding the errors each of you are seeing. We don't believe every user witnessing Service connection issues is experiencing the same (single) bug, so we need to try to unravel the problem.

Before proceeding, I'd like to ask each of you to try the following to see if doing so will enable the successful launch and functioning of X1 Search 8:

-a- Prior to installing, upgrading or launching of X1 (depending upon the point at which you encounter an issue), please open the Task Manager to the Processes tab, and sort the Image Name column in descending order, so that any X1 processes will appear at the top of the list.
-b- Immediately prior to launch of the Search 8 client, please confirm no X1Service.exe or X1ServiceHost.exe process remains active. If such a process IS running, please End the process manually from the Task Manager, and then try to launch X1.

Regardless of whether or not the above steps enable you to clear the Service errors you have been encountering, we would very much like to review the details of each specific case.

If you have the opportunity, please submit a support case at the following url:

http://www.x1.com/support/x1_search_submit_case.html

Materials to include that will be of great help:

1. Describe the behavior you observe - A description of the behavior you are experiencing will help us to categorize these issues. For example, please let us know if you encounter the problem upon a fresh installation of the Search 8 client or during an upgrade. Clarify, if you would, whether the error message you receive appears within the UI of the installer (i.e. before the Search 8 client launches) or after the Search 8 application has opened. During the installation of Search 8, did you opt to uninstall a previous version of X1 (e.g. 6.7.4)?

2. A picture is often worth more than a thousand words - If possible, please include a screenshot of the error message &/or the state of your application at the time of the failure. Screenshots can be immensely helpful to QA and Dev staff, when trying to reproduce the problem in house.

3. What's going on 'behind the curtain?' - X1 Search 8 makes logs of various program operations, in order to provide a means to forensically investigate application malfunctions. Toward the bottom of the "Submit A Case" form, there is a link to download the X1 Diagnostic Tool, along with instruction on its usage. PLEASE download and run the diagnostic tool, and upload the zip archive output it produces. Having access to user logs is often the critical factor in identifying and fixing program issues.

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused each of you, and we all greatly appreciate your assistance in eradicating this bug once and for all!

I look forward to reviewing the cases submitted.

Best Regards,
Alan

Can't index anything! Get the error message before the program even starts. As soon as I start the program I get the "Unable to connect to X1 service error" and the program immediately shuts down.

oh btw there a similar thread on this issue here
viewtopic.php?f=58&t=5887&p=19739&hilit=X1ServiceHost#p19739

Mostly seeing this error when re-organizing many files.
I don't know.., maybe, one way or the other X1 is loosing track / getting confused or the changes
to the indexes are too big: X1 starts to re-index but I am still in the process of re-arranging files.

Maybe I should first exit X1, do the re-organizing, then re-start X1?
However, I donot know beforehand whether I am moving just a few files or entire folders,
i.e. at what point / how many files should I exit X1
Then again, it may nót having anything to do with it.

Anyway, I re-start and the problem is solved.
Using Windows 7 x64.

Greetings All,

I assure you we are not trying to be dark and quiet. We are working diligently to get to all the support requests. This particular error has been a bit difficult to pinpoint, depending on the operating system, what is being indexed etc.

We are working one on one with folks using our diagnostic tool. We will pinpoint and fix this as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience, and we sincerely apologize for the delay.

Regards,

Rhonda Rondeau

I have also been a customer of X1 for a VERY long time and this version is just... bad!

I can't even get the damn thing to start -up! It dies at Start-Up stating 'it cannot connect to the index service!'

WHAT.

Oh, and back level we will go... a back level we will go... HI HO a merry'o and back level we will go!

Sad really... it looks very cool.

Well I guess I have no support so I'll stay with version 6.7.4. I have been a customer since 2005 so this makes me feel a little unhappy. And my trial time for the new version is getting burned up.

I have this error at regular intervals.

Frankly, I just restart and donot wonder why . . . Image

It is a long shot only, but maybe, just maybe, it might have something to do with re-organizing, renaming and/or moving bigger volumes of data (to other folders) whilst X1 is running using Explorer.

I think this is what is happening here me and I guess X1 can't keep track of it anymore.

Again, I donot know for sure.

It has all gone horribly quiet.

It seems strange to push out a new version, the first significant release in quite some years, and then to go to earth.

As well as this issue, other hot topics include the complete failure for some people of X1 Search 8 and Outlook 2013 and challenges with the new licensing regime.

The latter didn't even seem to get much attention in the beta phase.

I'm so disappointed with this new version that I've completely uninstalled it now. I think we must be being used as Beta testers or something - how did this get through? Image

And having recently taken out Software Upgrade Assurance, I will be cancelling that as well. X1 Support is very poor indeed.

I sent them an email the day before yesterday. It was apparently ignored. I don't pay for support so I guess I get what I pay for. On the other hand X1 loses a sale. When I bought this stuff in 2005 it was like 75 bucks, I and I have bought a couple upgrades since. A lost sale and bad will, X1 is the loser here. I still have my old version.
