3.8.4 Patch 1 and now have Search Function Errors.

[MrRem]

After making the upgrade to 3.8.4 Patch 1 to our forums, we have since found that clicking links that involve search.php simply bring up the Search page.

Our search page works fine:
http://voguefm.co.uk/forums/search.php


That sounds normal but the links i'm referring to are these:
http://voguefm.co.uk/forums/search.php?do=getnew
http://voguefm.co.uk/forums/search.php?do=getdaily

Nothing happens but simply showing a standard search page with no results.

It is intermittant as well.
If you "Mark all topics read" and then click "getnew" it will show "No new threads" but clicking the "See the last in 24 hours", it will default to just search.php again.


Have tried reuploading a fresh search.php but no changes to its behaviour.

Help would be most appreciated on where to start.

All I'm getting is your forum closed page when I click on those links.

Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

I have just received an email back from Support.
And it appears I have made the schoolboy error of running upgrade.php when I shouldn't have because it is a patch and not an upgrade.

Just in the process of updating my files to retest :)
