Search page bug in vB 4.2.2 and 4.2.3
 

Dear friends,
I had vB 4.2.2 version that include a search bug. Because of that, i decided to upgrade the
vB version to 4.2.3. After upgrading to 4.2.3, the search page still doesn't work. I mean if i
search a specific thread, it doesn't find although the thread is existed.
More precisely, the search page doesn't find anything, and i don't know why.

Somebody can help me to fix this problem please?

Thanks,
friends.

examples of the error?

It works fine on my client sites..

It doesn't show me an error, but it doesn't find anything.

Text: Sorry - no results. Different search terms can help.

How can i fix it? it make me crazy.

Go into maintenance and update your search index under update counters.

I think you should run
Admincp -> Maintenance -> General Update Tools -> Rebuild Search Index

Kind of what I said. :)

I did what you said and still it doesn't work :mad:

Link? How many posts on the site? If over 500K, did you rebuild via command line?

Are all your forums set to be indexed (admincp > forum manager > edit forum > Index New Posts in Search Engine > Yes?)?

Ok, well it is not "a bug". Can you give more background please? Perhaps it is your settings as Lynne suggested. Your search never worked?

Yes, the forms set to be indexed.
It's very wired, i don't know what to do.

My search never worked.
My website is only two weeks on air.

Can you explain what this search bug is that you said was in 4.2.2 (I don't remember one). What exactly happens when you try to search? What version of vB are you currently running and what version of PHP is on the server?

And again, can we get a link?

Dear friend,
Note: i don't mean the search page have problem, the problem only with the search itself that don't find nothing.
When i change my website to English language, the search is work. How it is happen? and it can be fixed?

Thanks.
