Can't search forums? - Page 2

Unfortunately I still get nothing when I search. And unfortunately a screen shot would be useless. You see when I click search the EXACT same page appears as when I arrived there in the first place.

So in the search criteria, say, I type Paladin. I then click on 'search'. and it just immediately plops me to the top of the same search page with no error messages.

What operating system, browser, and browser version are you using? I can't duplicate this problem on any of the three machines I use, so I'm not sure where the conflict lies.

I am using Windows XP home, and I use both IE 7 and FireFox 2.0.0.3. It does not work on either. When I do a search, and nothing happens, I get this URL:

http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/search.php?do=process

The browser, at this point, is no longer continuing to search. The browser does not hang or freeze, it simply does not perform the search. And thank you for such quick replies!

Does the problem exist regardless of which search form you use (general search, forum-specific search, and advanced search)? Or is it specific to one of these three?

Just tested by typing "something" into the search field on the advanced search, and had Search entire post and Search all open forums, and nothing happened when clicking search.

Neither did it when I choose "topics only" nor when I choose a specific forum.

I get a javascript exception in FireFox when it tries to call "Location.toString" which apparently is not permitted, so it could be a scripting error/internet security matter.
I'll try to test this out later, when I get a little free time.

I tried the same in IE 7 where I'm not logged into the forum, and did not give any result.

Searching in the forum overview (quick search) and within a specific forum, just returned me to the advanced search function, both in FireFox and IE and both as logged in and not logged in.

I'd had the same problem for the last couple of days. I tried searching both logged in and not logged in, with:
Firefox (latest version)
Opera 8.5
IE (latest)
K-meleon

All browsers, both logged in or not would bring me back to the the main advanced search page. Even if I typed something into "Quick Search" it still returned me to the main search page.

However, I just tried a search and it seems to work fine now. Thanks Buck!

I went through our custom search templates and verified that all of the code is consistent with the "base" vBulletin 3.6.5 template code. Please let me know if you have any more problems.

Tried a search just now and got the following message:

Quote:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /usr/local/apache/sites/gamebanshee.com/htdocs/forums/search.php on line 1033

My gues would be that I get too much threads back, but not sure.
