Fatal search limit bug
 

Hello,

Ive a very special bug. and a very anoying one...
When searching with search limit set to 1 for example , i get the error message about the search limit over and over again no matter if im waiting for example 10 sek between searches... but sometimes it works


it comes most often with this link: search.php?do=getdaily&exclude=66,66,739,72,82

and the most curious thing is that this bug is only with german forum language.

vbulletin version: 3.8.4
with custom plugins

tested browsers: firefox, chrome

After you change the limit, you probably need to clear the search table.

You can probably do something like

TRUNCATE PREFIXsearch;

IT stores the searchid's, etc.

but ive tested it during minimum 48 h!
cache should be cleared many times auto. allready:..

Okay, should have and did are two different things. Did you try manually clearing it?

so just run this query in vb? is it safe?

As long as you're on vBulletin 3, the search table only holds temporary data.
