Title: SEARCH failures
Post by: Miami_Bob on May 22, 2004, 10:42:50 pm

Since messages in:

http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...iewtopic&t=4056 (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4056)

  (Extended \"Last Forum Posts\" & \"Recent Posts\")

I have been using \"*\" as search criteria to see an extended list of recent posts. Recently, when I click page 2 (or 3 or 4) or \"next\", I get an error page with:

 .............. INFORMATION

....... No topics or posts met your search criteria

Doesn\'t matter if I\'m logged in or not, if I try \"in same window\" or \"in different window\" or which browser I use. Can this be fixed?

Thanks

I\'ve had this happen once or twice and generally going back to the search page and starting again worked - maybe a burp in the forums database or something?

Negatory here, Stu. Can even close the browser, reopen & search with same results. Not every search, but seems to be getting more frequent. Only noticed so far on the \"*\" searches, BTW.

THANKS!

Sorry to say it, guys, but now the problem is so bad that I can not get past the first page of a \"*\" search at all. Tried logged on, logged off, close browser & come back on. Nada. Also doesn\'t matter if I\'m at home or at work. Something has changed in the past week or so, since this wasn\'t happening before then.

Hmm, Something is up, when I search for last days post with * then it returns 166 hits (4 pages) pages 1 and 2 show okay but 3 and 4 come up blank with 166 hits still showing at the top. If I change it to 7 days then I can read pages 3 and 4. Very odd. Tried resetting cache and cookies and history but nothing changed.

Stu & ORG - If I search \"*\" for the last 7 days (or 2 weeks or whatever) THEN the \'#x page\' & next/previous work OK every time. Same search open ended time chokes every time now. Just for additional data.

Computers - they keep a person humble.
