Search

[Pete McCluskey.]

Hi Ron, when I try and do a search I get an error on page message and nothing happens. I have looked at search tips and cannot figure what I am doing wrong. Any thoughts?

 

I'm getting the same thing.

Works for me, I'll check it from other computers.

I can't get it to work either. Any suggestions? Thanks. Orin Meyer

For the folks having problems, what are you searching for when it fails?

 

[Keith]

I get a different problem - the search date criteria is blank. That is to say I have no idea which box is which (search before/after). I only know it's there because I remember seeing it a couple of weeks ago so can play around with dates until the search engine realises I'm not barking mad! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Are you signed / logged in when it fails?

Tried when I was not logged in and it gave a strange screen

Logged in and no problems - search worked

[Keith]

Yeah - logged in OK Ian, it's just the text on the date range section has disappeared for some reason. Just get the 2 boxes. Oh well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I have had no problems with the normal search, but I can't search the user profile. I get a message that there is an error on the page as follows

Line: 168
Char: 1
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: http://www.gt40s.com/ubbthreads/index.php?
cat=0&paction=profileindex

Does that mean anything to anyone?

 

try logging in, that should solve the problem
good luck

Thanks Dennis, but no that's not it. I'm definitely logged in. Seems to be I'm permanently logged in. Should be working on the car.

 

Another thing which could work (but i think you already tried that...):
there are 2 different search buttons on the page (one on the top of the page, and the quick search button on the right). On some computers the quick search doesn't work, but the top one (on the right of "main index") does work.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif working on the car is better than fidling with computers /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Profile Search

No, still no luck Dennis. I can't find a quick search button. Go to 'Entrance' at the top of any page, then at the left is a menu. 4th one down is 'Profile Index'. Then you are offered a load of tick boxes to search, and a box labelled 'for word(s)' next to a 'GO' button. Tick any box eg. 'Location' and then put some word in the box eg 'australia' and then click the GO button. I get message at bottom of page saying 'Error on page'. If I double click the message I get the previously mentioned information.
If instead of clicking GO I go down to the bottom of the page and click '>>' then I go to page 2 of the results from where I can go back to page 1 of the results, so the search sort of works, but not by the normal method. When it goes wrong I click on 'Profile Index full' and 'Profile Index norm' in the menu to reset the screen.

Re: Profile Search

They are messed up. This board version is a beta, it will be time to upgrade to the new one. I just dread it since *most* important stuff is working right now and everytime we upgrade something stops working. I've been sort of happy - picture posting, banners, hosting, etc works, while searching is sort of iffy on the special searches, but the good stuff works.
