search by user and keywords together is broken
 

From the advanced search page: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/search.php

If I do a keyword search for "skypesos" it works

If I do a username search for "zorak" it works

If I try to keyword search "skypesos" and username "zorak" at the same time I get the database error page

Just an example; the problem does not seem tied to either that specific term or my username. The issue also occurs whether you are doing a site-wide search, forum-specific search, or even thread search e.g. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/sear...readid=2056973

Guessing that whatever code takes the form inputs and composes the underlying database query is generating syntactically-invalid SQL or something when multiple terms are involved.

did you try it with a date constraint? I had similar result last week, edited my original long search phrase to two?three? keywords, but got several accurate responses when I also included “a year ago and earlier”

Interesting idea (i.e. if the issue is that the search "space" is too large), but tried it just now and it doesn't help.

May have been reported as an issue on other sites by IBKatherine. I'll round up with her and tech

Any news?

I just got a note today that it's in progress. I don't know why it's taking so long. We may have had a tech worker out on PTO

Looks like this is fixed now :tu:
