Searches with Apostrophe

[dioxide45]

It seems that when you do a search for a word with an apostrophe in it, you can't click on the threads that match that search. It seems that the "%highlight=ko%27olina" is killing the link. I get the following message when I attempt to go to the following link;

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@tugbbs.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

If I remove the "%highlight=ko%27olina" from the link in the address bar, the thread loads just fine.

Confirmed, I get the same thing with that link. No idea what to do about it, though.

This is related to certain security setting(s) on the server. Here's a link to a vbulletin forum thread on the issue: Search term with apostrophe gives 403 error

Thanks for the tip. Have explored this with our server folks and they have installed a more comprehensive solution that seems to have corrected the problem for more than just apostrophes.

Kudos to Doug and the server team for providing a solution.

Thanks for following up on this. I thought it had just gone by the wayside. Glad you looked in to it and got it resolved.

Was out timesharing when originally reported. Had to wait til we got home and got settled before I had time to follow up.
