Description
Sptag index build and search works good , Spann index build also works good , but I am facing a problem in the search part of SPANN
This is my SPANN index folder

Index build :
!/content/SPTAG/Release/indexbuilder -c /content/buildconfig.ini -d 784 -v UInt8 -f TXT -i /content/datadata.txt -o /content/spannindex784 -a SPANN
Spann index search
!/content/SPTAG/Release/indexsearcher -x /content/spannindex784/ -d 784 -v UInt8 -f TXT -i /content/dataquery.txt -o /content/outputSearch.txt -k 20
It starts up good but it stops with Cannot open index configure file!, I have not made any changes to the spann index folder , after building index , I provided the same path as it is ,
below are logs when I call spann search . PS:i am using the fashion mnist 784 Euclid dataset

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the shown indexbuilder and indexsearcher commands using the SPANN Fashion-MNIST setup. Inspect the generated /content/spannindex784 folder alongside the search log, especially the metadata-loading step and the missing index configuration message. Done means determining why the built index cannot be opened for search and documenting a verified resolution.
