Search is broken?

[twm]

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1024 bytes) in /home/forums/public_html/search.php on line 839

This is the error I get

I'm aware of this and the fix is a little beyond my talents...

But... it will be fixed shortly, bear with me!

Daniel,

This error still persists, so I checked around a bit for some help. I used to run a Vb board for a while, so I have decent experience should you require any help fixing this.

I am still getting this error, but it only occurs with certain search phrases, and I can't seem to find the pattern. Any ideas on this?

I believe it involes using too many variables.

Such as A + B + C = overload

The problem is your server is not allowing vb to use enough memory. Your going to have to edit the php.ini file on your server to change the memory_limit. You will need to ssh into your server to do that (im not sure if this can be done via whm). Or if you dont have your own server ask your webhost to do that (or if you do and have a server admin, talk to him about it).

Can anyone please fix this? It is really annoying when I can't even do a two word search.

Thanks

The search function works fine for me. I'm using Firefox.

[Daniel Clough]

Works mostly fine for me, but... I am aware of the problem.

I'll be fixing it this weekend.

The search function works fine for me. I'm using Firefox.

as am I. but it doesnt work for me... what are is ur operating system? win xp? mines 2000.

[BG5150]

Works fine on Apple's OSX (ver 10.3.9) and the Safari and Camino browsers.

I don't think it has anything to do with your browser or operating system...

Once we get this problem fixed it'll help make our forums quite a bit efficient = n00bs doing searches without the excuse of "the search thing isn't working".

I don't think it has anything to do with your browser or operating system...There might be some correlation...who knows?

actually i'm happy with win 2000, ive been with the normal thing all my life and then winxp just is weird i dont really like it but thats just me...

[d'Anconia]

Yeah I'm on WinXP but I tried to keep the user interface as close to the earlier Windows versions as possible. I don't like my UI being complex, just simple and effective.

Then just get Mac OS X.

[jed]

Boo for macs! im sticking with windows 2000 until we HAVE to get something else.

[defcon]

Screw all your windows and macs. Get Gentoo!

[MM]

I'm using firefox, and the search function is NOT working for me. Two word searches kick out.

[d'Anconia]

Yeah search isn't working again...

[Daniel Clough]

is it fixed now?

[diesel_dan]

seems to be working fine now.

[TheGimp]

Just got an error searching for "protein one time". It's hard to tell people who ask the same question over and over again just to do a search when it doesn't work.

[Daniel Clough]

ok - clearly the change I made did help, but its still occuring for some...

Leave it with me to re-fix.

[SpecialK]

If it helps you troubleshoot the problem any, I did a search for "cut water weight" without the quotes and it gave the error.

[Daniel Clough]

should be fixed now.
