    Problem searching in forum

    When I try searching for "custom browse problem", I get an empty page (no HTML at all) with the address http://forums.slimdevices.com/search.php

    If I try searching for "custom browse problem" in Advanced search, I get an empty page with the address http://forums.slimdevices.com/search.php?do=process

    If I try searching for "custom browse", then it works, both with Advanced search and the normal search.

    Does anybody have a clue why? Does this happen for everyone?

    this has happened to me a few times, and has stopped happening just as mysteriously. sorry, no idea, but you aren't alone at least!

      Yes, this happens a lot. When all else fails, use Google's site search. Enter the search as:

      Code:
      site:forums.slimdevices.com custom browse problem
      Search the world's information, including webpages, images, videos and more. Google has many special features to help you find exactly what you're looking for.

        I've always suspected that the problem is if the search string contains common words, in this case "problem" is probably the one that causes the issue.

        However, I can't understand why anyone possibly would like to combine "problem" with "custom browse" in the same search string, feels strange ;-)

          Hehe. Well, I see you've found the thread in question, so I'm off to read it now.

            The problem was php running out of memory on searches with lots of results. I increased the max memory to be used. This should hopefully improve the search behaviour.
