Dear developers,

I've upgraded from 2.6.9 to 2.7.4 and noticed that member search no longer works.

How could I track the issue and restore it?
my forum is at http://forum.akl.ru/fudforum

A suggestion is hanging around: the search is case-sensitive, but it is probably better to make it not.

Thanks for help!

It works fine on this forum right here. What database are you using?

Yes it does, I tried it here.

MySQL 4.1.7-log
character set system utf8

Even if I search for an English name (e.g. sgk), it doesn't find it on my forum.

I suspect it has to do with the UTF-8 charset encoding used on your forum. Try to change it to ISO_8859-15 and see if the search starts to work.

Ilia,

utf8 is, I suspect, the internal charset in MySQL, which I'm afraid I can not change. It's a hosting provider's database.

my forum encoding is koi8-r, and in previous version the search did work.

The fact is that in Search for messages section, the search works well... (the same charset being used n both cases).

Well, the search for members uses a basic LIKE query to perform searching. So its not really anything that the forum is doing. You don't need any special access to alter the charset of the users table however.

I found a reason.
MySQL 4.1.7, when given a query "LIKE 's%'" returned zero results.
I changed code to '%s%' and it worked.

Furthermore, I did a little code hack so that the User search would become case insensitive:
in fudforum_data/src/finduser.php.t:

if ($usr_login) {
// case sensitivity hack by MaximP
$usr_login1=strtoupper($usr_login);
$qry = 'UPPER(alias) LIKE '._esc(char_fix(htmlspecialchars(addcslashes('%'.$usr_login1.'%','\\')))).' AND';
// $qry = 'alias LIKE '._esc(char_fix(htmlspecialchars(addcslashes($usr_login.'%','\\')))).' AND';
} else {
$qry = '';
}
then don't forget to rebuild the theme.

Ilia, is it useful enough to be included into further versions?

Doing a search where the query string is contained within % ala %foo% rather then foo% no index can be used. This means that search query will be slower and only get slower and slower as more users registers. I definately won't add something like that.

Agreeing with you as per index usage, the thing that in some circumstances (as I faced) the search would not work at all, this workaround seemed for me being rather better than worse Smile
