Forum Search Not Working.

Post by Warf135 »

Hi Scott,

I'm having problems with the search feature in the forum, here is the error message:

General Error
Could not delete old search id sessions
DEBUG MODE
SQL Error : 2006 MySQL server has gone away
DELETE FROM phpbb_search_results WHERE session_id NOT IN ('0000b272f14e85f8283f5d42a690541e', '00017e252b03b8ab36569df213c2a312', '00029336a5be797175cda204ddd38630', '00037e584a2bce541b49222b4d1c9d6e', '00046e475f677965abbbe75c6b49707f', '00090ea77d874e5491d5bbc638339fed', '000ac968c633423e8354b24f955328ff', '000bf2a73bce56e4ddbab3b14489884c'....(and about 10 pages of this coding)

I've had this message on my last 5 visits to the forum. Any help is appreciated, as I used the search quite often.

I have cleaned out the database, I think it just got too clogged up.

Forum Search still Not Working properly.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the quick reply, but i'm sorry to say that the search is still not working right.
It now searches as it should... but fails to find anything at all :roll:. I've tested it with things I know are in the forum, like lincoln and maycom and nothing is found. Strange!
:?: :?:

I had to empty out the search database, so it will not find existing matches, it will add things from this point on from new posts.
