Bug Report and Fix (broken search)

Well as of the new vb4 template version you broke the search system. If you use quick search or try to search without explicitly applying filters you wont get a result because the search term itself gets lost.

After reviewing the code for some reason you updated a few of the search term related fields to GPC query instead of text.

projectsearch.php line 346 in 2.1.0

PHP Code:

        'query'      => TYPE_STR, 


fixed code

PHP Code:

        'text'      => TYPE_STR, 


class_pt_issuesearch.php line 447 in 2.1.0

PHP Code:

        'query'        => 'add_text',        // string - fulltext search 


fixed code

PHP Code:

        'text'        => 'add_text',        // string - fulltext search 


With these changes you are now able to search for items correctly. We am really not sure why this was changed between 2.1.0a1 and 2.1.0 as if you check the 2.1.0a1 files things are validated using the correct name and we were unable to locate any other search related changes for the field name to point to it was an intended change.
