vb Search not working correctly

[soundlover]

Have 3 problems and I think they are related.

First, when you make a search with only two words, there are no results. (there are thread titles with those two words exactly)

Second What's new was giving an internal error.

Third: When you go to to your profile and click on list all threads started by you, it shows nothing.

I have change the number of Search Index Minimum Word Length in Message searching options to a bigger number. Was 5, made it 6. Tried others but same result. Now I get good results for one word searches but still nothing for two word searches.

I fixed What's new by following this:

It appears that a Bug in PHP5.3.6 is causing this:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51425

 As a temporary fix, edit the /vb/search/criteria.php file and replace this part:

 if (method_exists($this->search_type, 'get_display_name'))
 {
 $hashstrings[] = 'type:' . $this->search_type->get_display_name();
 }
 else
 {
 $hashstrings[] = 'type:' . strval($this->search_type);
 }

 with:

 $hashstrings[] = 'type:' . strval($this->search_type);

I suspect that search not giving results for two word letters has something to do with that bug.

Vb version 4.1.3
php 5.3.6

Any suggestions?

Upgrade to 4.1.4 and override all the files. You can upgrade to 4.1.5 but not all modifications work properly. If that doesnt work, disable all mods. If it works after that, you are going to have to go one by one until you find the modification/plugin that is causing the error.

Thanks for the reply. What I am afraid of is that by upgrading, current template does not work correctly or something else that does not work.

You can upgrade to 4.1.4 without a problem. That's why I said not 4.1.5 because there is a possibility that some modifications can conflict with it.

[soundlover]

Thanks
I will do that.

Did that work for you?

[soundlover]

Didn't try it yet. Was out all day today. I found two ways to upgrade. One is to delete all the current files on server and upload new files, the other is to upload and overwrite.

What is the best way to upgrade?
Do current products need to be reinstalled?

[DOPE]

No, Just upload all the new files and overwrite the old ones and then go to www.sitename.com/forumroot/install/upgrade.php

[soundlover]

Good. Will make forum offline and do that, maybe tomorrow.

Upgraded. Search is much better but had to replace the code for What's new to work.
Find all threads started by you in profile still not working.
