Wildcard search not working in 1.4.8

[adrianbj]

I can't seem to make the wildcard search work in 1.4.8

I know it used to work when I first installed CPG back in the 1.3x era, but I am not sure when it stopped working. I know that Nibbler fixed this issue in svn revision 3036, but 1.4.8 is up to svn revision 3116, so it should be working. In fact I notice it is working on your demo board, so I am a little baffled as to what is going on - is the demo board running the stock 1.4.8 installation?

The line that seems to be most relevant to me is:

$search_string = strtr($search_string, array('_' => '\_', '%' => '\%', '*' => '%'));

from the search.inc.php file. It certainly seems like it should do the job of converting the * to %.

My gallery is available at http://ian.umces.edu/imagelibrary/

Please let me know if there is anything else I can post to help debug this.

Thanks,
Adrian

Enable debug output so we can see the query when you use a wildcard. If you don't want to do that then enable it for yourself and post us the results.

You are using MOD for search try disable that mod and test orginal search , standard installation of cpg 1.4.8 is okey with wildcard search

Switch your gallery to UTF-8 encoding.

bmossavari,

I added a simple search field to the top of my gallery, but the main search page (search.php) is the standard 1.4.8 code. Is there something I am missing that you are referring to?

Nibbler,

It was the encoding issue - thanks for that!
