[Forum] vB4.1.2PL4 - Couldn't find all posts from any user - page couldn't be found error

[Alan_SP]

I just noticed, I couldn't search for all post from any user (myself included). When I try to do this I receive error like page couldn't be found and I'm redirected to google search (I'm using Opera and this redirect is browser related). You could search for all posts of user from profile, or from postbit when you click on user name.

But, I could search for user threads. This works fine. Also, as I can tell, other searches are fine.

I tried rebuilding search index from scratch, didn't helped. I also disabled all hooks, it too didn't helped.

I think that I could do that before, but not sure when it stopped working. I have test site with vB4.1.0PL1, there it works, so it's not server's fault. Also, I checked link line for passed commands to search.php, it's correct (compared it with here too). It looks like: http://slobodni.net/search.php?do=fi...st&showposts=1 so you could too check it.

It could be from installing PL (not sure which one, I installed one by one as they came), or something else. And yes, maybe it didn't worked from start, but I have moderators who say that they used it before and I really don't know was it working, or after what it stopped working. Any ideas? Is it known bug for 4.1.2 or one of patch levels?

We can't search as guests - can you create a test account

[Alan_SP]

Yes, I created test account, but I couldn't send you PM. I don't want to openly post pass to test user.

I just remembered that I relatively recently used to search for users' posts and everything was working.

Now I also disabled datastore cache, didn't helped. Something has changed, something that is related to files, or database, but I don't have idea what.

EDIT: Just installed PL5, still it doesn't work.

EDIT2: I tried manually to search for posts of user, i.e. not using link in postbit or profile. I went to advanced search, choose Search Single Content Type, insert user name and when there should be some results, there's error.

Looking further into, I found where's error, as far as I can say. In advance search there's option: "Show Results as:"

It could be Threads or Posts. If I choose Threads, everything works fine. If I choose Posts, I have error.

Same search, I'm just changing the way I want results shown. If it's threads, it works. If it's posts, it doesn't work.

Don't know what's behind this, but this is key option that causes error to appear. Still don't know what is changed that's causing this.
