Plone advanced search doesn't work

I'm using Plone 4.0.1 and have a problem with the search portlet. The normal search and live search work fine, but when I try to use the advanced search (via mysite/search_form), I get the following error stack:

    Traceback (innermost last):

This can be resolved with a types import of the appropriate type & package profile.

There is some product or Zope add-on that's half-installed.

A brute force fix is to re-install all your addons and hopefully one of the addons will register the type.

However, for the more "Perfectionist" approach:

  1. Find The Offending Type
    Run zope in fg with Products.PDBDebugMode (this makes plone enter pdb on exception)

    AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Title'
> /path/to/your/plone/instance/PythonExpr(1)<expression>()
(Pdb) portal_types
<TypesTool at /plonesite/portal_types>
(Pdb) type
'NameOfOffendingType'   #### <------ HERE!!!!!!
(Pdb) portal_types.getTypeInfo(type) is None
True   ####<--- yup, sure is!!!

2) Visit the ZMI and under your plone site, check types tool. You should notice that the offending type identified in step 1 is not listed.

3) Find the python package and profile 'types.xml' that defines this Object: you should see this in types.xml somewhere (hopefully)

 <object name="NameOfOffendingType"
    meta_type="Factory-based Type Information with dynamic views"/>

4) Now that you know the package, Visit the ZMI and under your plone site go to 'portal setup' and click the 'import' tab. Choose the Package / Product under the "Select Profile or Snapshot" (you can find the profile name in the Package's configure.zcml) Select 'Types Tool' and click 'Import Selected Steps'

5) from here, you can go re-check the Types Tool in step 2. You should now see the "Offending Type" listed.

6) Go back and try the advanced search again. Maybe it will work this time.

Likely a Dexterity bug, the accessor for Title returns None, and the catalog caches this in metadata/brain -- then the template chokes. Upgrade to Dexterity 1.0.3 -- IIRC should solve for you.

You seems to have something wrong with portal_types, check if all is ok there. Maybe a content type with some name with spaces inside the name, or broken products?
