Search doesn't work after upgrade

[tmonaghan]

Since I upgraded to 1.6.1 both search and advanced search have stopped working. When I do a search from the main page it goes to advanced search and when I search from there it returns to the advanced search page with no results.

The Firefox plugin returns proper search results.

Any ideas?

Hi,
just a few questions:

1. Did you run the update script?
2. Are you using a custom set of template files?

Hi,

I have the same issue. I upgraded from 1.5.7 to 1.6.1 and search does not work except through the plug-in

EDIT: Here are some specs on my box:
phpMyFAQ Version : phpMyFAQ 1.6.1
Server Software : Apache/2.0.54 (Fedora)
PHP Version : PHP 5.0.4
Register Globals : off
Safe Mode : off
Database Client Version : 4.1.12
Database Server Version : 4.1.12
Webserver Interface : APACHE2HANDLER

Could you change your PHP version? On Windows (2000) + PHP 5.0.4 + Apache PMF 1.6.x search simply drives Apache to the crash. Maybe this issue could be applied to your server too, even if Linux based. Have you compiled PHP by your own?

please take a look at the documentation. We changed the method of the search and you have to change some lines of HTML in the templates. The changed files are listed in docs/CHANGEDFILES.txt.

Hi,

yes, you need the change in the code because we changed the method of sending the searched words.

Hi,

as you said that you didn't changed the layout you can copy the search.tpl from the phpMyFAQ package into your web space.

Thanks for using phpMyFAQ!

Does 1.6.1 still require more than 3 characters to perform search? I have acronyms such as BGP and TCP in my FAQ that users are not able to search for.

Hi,

there's a patch against that since ages in phpMyFAQ. Can I see your FAQ?
