Paging and search results
When I do a search on my site I can not get to page two in the search results if I have two search words – in the link for the results I get an %2B instaed of + between search word.
You could see it here:

Re: Paging and search results
That’s strange, it’s working on my site: http://doggiez.nl/zoek/?q=de+hond
Could it be related to your browser’s character encoding? Oh no, or else I wouldn’t see the problem on your site… Sorry for that.

Re: Paging and search results
Yeah, great example, isn’t it ;) But now I notice something strange: on mikkeX’s page 2 the + becomes %2B (which doesn’t work), on mine it remains a +, and on yours it becomes %20 (http://thebombsite.com/search/?q=the+web), and that does work. Hmm…

Re: Paging and search results
Well if memory serves %20 is a “space” which is correct so should work. Don’t forget, you don’t need to put the “+” sign into the search box. I have no idea what %2B is???
I think some of these things can be put down to the smaller details of how a server is set up. Don’t know about this one though.

Re: Paging and search results
A good observation. That is weird, I wouldn’t know why it is happening (though I’m curious to know), but I can tell you why that causes the problem.
Textpattern apparently does not decode search query strings before it searches for them. The result is that, even though a plus sign (+) is equivalent to %2B, and a space (%20) or a plus sign should have the same results, the database searches for a literal %2B string, which of course, doesn’t exist.

No, all this happens when you just enter two words with a space in between. Textpattern adds the + in the url on the first search results page, and only on a second page the + gets transformed (or not).

Re: Paging and search results
As Els says two words and space and i get %2B
My code from the page:
<txp:if_search>
<div id="artikeltext">
<txp:output_form form="search_input_result" />
<br /><br />
<txp:article limit="15" searchall=1 />
<p class="brodtext center">
<txp:newer><strong><< Föregående</strong></txp:newer>
<txp:older><strong>Nästa >></strong></txp:older> </p>
</div>
<txp:else />My htaccess:
php_flag zlib.output_compression On
php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5
php_flag display_errors 1
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
</IfModule>

Re: Paging and search results
Sorry – but I do nout understand that – how could that answer solve the problem?
If you see the HTML that Textpattern produces on the site it does not work, if i manually edit the url and replace it with an + it does work, so should I file under bug report? And does somone have a solution?
The url for page two that Textpattern generates is:
http://etc.gimmikk.se/?pg=2&q=johan%2Behrenberg
and it does not work.
What would work is:
http://etc.gimmikk.se/?pg=2&q=johan+ehrenberg

Re: Paging and search results
It doesn’t, that’s the point, there isn’t a way for you to fix it, short of editing one of the files.
