[Forum] Search engine issue, please help

[NRJ]

Suddenly, we are facing strange issue with forum search engine. When searching "View forum posts" for some users, latest posts are not shown in search result but if searched "Find all latest threads" the result is pretty accurate for threads created.

We have tried rebuilding search index, post cache, repaired sql tables through diagonstic and disabling all the hooks but still the same.

Please advise what can we do to fix this issue.

So, it seems vbulletin has officially sent all the technical support staffs on vacation. It's been nearly 3 days. No technical support person has attended this thread.

[NRJ]

Guys, please tell me whom should I contact for this technical issue?

[NRJ]

Bump.

Please try the following:

1. To disable the plugin/hook system completely, edit includes/config.php and add the following code:
Just below

<?php

enter

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

2. Now go to AdminCP > Style Manager
and create a new style with no parent.
Now browse your forum using this new style.

Do you still have the same problem?

Thanks Mark. It did not work. It is still showing the same.
Please help.
