I just installed about a month ago and starting posting some test messages. When I do a search sometimes I get correct results sometimes nothing depending on the word searched. Its almost as if some messages are in the search index and some are not. I did a rebuild search index from admin but that did not help.

I also noticed that it appears that the only search results that work are with words that are capitalized in the message.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Bob

I think I may have this partially figured out. There is a unique contraint on the "search" table. This causes a db error when inserting duplicate words and stops the rebuild process. I dont know why the system is attempting to insert dupes but apparently it is. I turned the unique contraint off and rebuilt the search index and then all the words were inserted "correctly"... with dupes of course, but at least all the words are in there now and the forum search now seems to work.

I think this function is not working correctly: $w2 = array_unique($w2); (in isearch.inc)

Is there a better workaround than what I have done or is there a fix for this?

Thanks.

It appears that the $w2 array is multi-dimensional and array_unique is not intended for multi-dimensional arrays. So I dont really know how to deal with dupes in the word list. It seems to work fine with the dupes there but just needed to make sure the search table in the database allows for duplicate entries in the word column. The standard FUDforum install for MS SQL Server puts a unique restriction on that column.
