Problem searching in forum

[Soulkeeper]

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:

site:forums.slimdevices.com custom browse problem

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=...browse+problem

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.
