Betsy, the Search function works fine for me. Maybe you might clear your browser's cache or cookies or whatever? Close and reopen your browser? Restart your computer?

Just a few ideas...

I've also had several failures related to memory allocation. These errors are not at all likely as a result of a user's PC. Certainly looks like an intermittent server issue. And since I'm seeing it too, that certainly does not point to an issue with Betsy's machine.

That was why I said they were "just a few ideas." Something to try, just in case it works, and something to rule out, if it doesn't. Obviously, if others are having the same issue, then it's not her machine.

Here's the error I just got when trying to search

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 20971520 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 312800 bytes) in /home/tugbbsc/public_html/forums/search.php on line 1016

Hope this helps debug something! I'll do a google search instead.

Brian, I'm able to consistently reproduce the problem. If I search the Marriott forum using the keywords "Newport week", the error will occur. However, if I use "Newport weeks", the search completes with no error.

It seems to be associated with searching a forum of a large size with one of the keywords being less than 5 characters in length.

Search errors

It seems to use OR when searching on 2 words (or probably more) so if one of the words is common it finds a lot (or too many) matches. At least that is what I observed when trying to do a 2 word seach. Can't even remember what words I used, but I removed the most common one and the search worked.

imo the global search option works 100x better anyway...i really am at a loss for how to cure the issue you seem to have with the bbs search.

Maybe the bbs developer can use this info to debug the bbs for you.
