"Advanced Search" Not Working Correctly
Desktop or mobile? Desktop
Reproduced in multiple browsers? Which do/don’t work (we at least need to know the initial browser)? Yes. Chrome and Firefox
Steps to reproduce the issue Using "Advanced Search" (https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/search.php?f=681), results returned are incomplete; example searching on "waiver" in United Forum (https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unit...leageplus-681/) returns a partial/incomplete list of thread that include "waiver" in the thread title; same incomplete results provided for searching on "Waiver", "Travel Waiver", or even "Travel Waiver:" ; example list of should returned thread titles below.
Reproduced on incognito mode/private window? Yes - same incomplete results
When did this problem start? Over 3 weeks ago.

Example list of should returned thread titles (for December 2022):
Incomplete search results list only shows 3 of the above waiver threads returned.

Similar problem here.

When trying an advanced search, I get the error message: "TypeError: sizeof(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given in ..../sphinx.php on line 49"

searching for "other" in the frontier miles forum

Which 3 were showing up for you when you searched "December 2022"? I got 5 results and I'm just trying to see if there's inconsistencies.
My search settings:
december 2022 (no quotes)
United Forums
Search thread titles only
display as threads

Travel Waiver: Auckland Fuel Shortage (December 9, 2022 - December 18, 2022)

Travel Waiver: Central US Winter Weather (December 12, 2022 - December 17, 2022)

Travel Waiver: Brussels Industrial Action (December 15, 2022 - December 16, 2022)

Impact on UA travel of Heathrow strikes, November / December 2022?

Travel Waiver: Rocky Mountain Winter Weather (December 31, 2021 - January 1, 2022)

Additional error: Searching on "MM" in any forum using Advanced Search or either of the general search (screen page top bar or Search this Forum) generates the following error:

TypeError: sizeof(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given in ..../sphinx.php on line 49

Well, Google's not finding 2023 threads now either (search on - united airlines 2023 let's eat site:www.flyertalk.com) - so something's wrong with the code that's tagging pages and posts so that even Google can't find stuff.

I can't imagine that IB wants less eyeballs on FT.
