Search results disappeared

Our search has been working for years, but suddenly we noticed that we were no longer getting any search results. I haven’t changed anything in a while. I’m stumped.

The search result count still displays, but no articles are listed below this.

Here’s what we’ve got:

  <txp:if_search>
        <txp:article pgonly="1" />
        <txp:search_result_count /></b></p>
	<txp:article sortby="Posted" sortdir="desc" form="search_results" />	
        </txp:if_search>

If I change txp:article to txp:article_custom, it will then write out a bunch of results, but including a bunch of wrong ones.

Here’s Our site

Any ideas/ help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Search results disappeared

Here’s the search_results form:

<h2><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom:18px"><txp:search_result_excerpt /><br/>
<small><txp:permlink><txp:permlink /></txp:permlink> &middot;
<txp:posted /></small></p>

Thanks!

Re: Search results disappeared

What happens if you change your code to

<txp:if_search>
<txp:article pgonly="1" searchall="0" />
<txp:if_search_results>
<txp:search_result_count />
</txp:if_search_results>
<txp:article sortby="Posted" sortdir="desc" form="search_results" />	
</txp:if_search>

Re: Search results disappeared

Still no results are listed. – Now the search result count also doesn’t show up.

This is so odd!

Re: Search results disappeared

Ok, could you switch your site to debug mode, someone here will be able to spot what’s wrong through that.

Re: Search results disappeared

It will depend if there are bugs in your code:)

Re: Search results disappeared

Could we coordinate this so that it’s in debug mode for X number of minutes? I’ll email you my info.

Re: Search results disappeared

In my judgement this is not a standard Textpattern search, it seems to be customized. Is it possible that it looks only in the section “Search”? Look at the URL of a search result.
There is a tag in the source code that might cause this: <input type="hidden" name="s" value="Search" />.
Also, I’m a bit stumped about the result when I enter a normal query like http://chapelhillpubliclibrary.org/txp/?q=media into the URL field. Just try.


In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Re: Search results disappeared

It’s all pretty weird, especially when you consider that it’s been working for years!
