Custom search format for 1.4 won't work with 1.5

Recently upgraded to 1.5.8 without any problems, but just happened to notice that the above style "preset" search no longer works. It's not a major problem, as I can probably find most of the places in my web sites that I may have used such a search line.

Hopefully this posting will be of use to other people who learnt how to use it from the cpg1.4 support postings, and once they know about it can amend their preset searches.

Obviously using http://www.sharpos-world.co.uk/cpg/search.php and entering 60163 in the search field will show the relevant photos, as will:-

Is it not advisable to use such a preset search in a web site, in case there are changes in future versions?

What do you mean by "no longer works"? Seems fine to me.

Works for me, too. The search returns 93 files on 5 pages for me.

Here's a screen shot of how it appears to me, using Firefox.

Ah, just tried it with IE and it works, now I'm confused - still not working in Firefox.

Set your browsers - all of them - to not "remember".......

• Form fields
• Passwords

If you are changing settings on your gallery and using a browser that can be both "compatible" and incompatible....

• Switch between the two modes - force a page refresh

If you are changing / doubting settings on your gallery and using only one browser....

• Clear your cache
• Clear your cookies

If you are changing / doubting settings on your gallery and using only one browser....

• Use another browser before posting a help request

I write this for all current and future readers although I remember you have had another user/browser issue recently...

Thanks Joe, looks like clearing cookies fixed it, that was the first "new" thing I tried after reading your post

Had already tried clearing cache on both computers when I first experienced the problem.
