Search Problem

Post by desk2web » Wed Feb 07, 2007 9:54 pm

If anyone has a few moments I would appreciate it they could have a look at http://www.pacemakerpressintl.com this is a site I have been building and is now LIVE, however, it has been noticed that the search is not performing quite as it should ....

1. Quick Search off the front page : Enter some phrase, eg Alan Smart
    Results show 27 images, I have already modified com_search to default to exact search

2. Click on page 2 of the results, the remaining 2 images show up as they are still being searched under the exact phrase.

Now, try this one, back to the front page, search for Keith Gillespie, 487 results.

Click on say page 7, the search returns to an "any" word search - question is Why?  and more importantly, how can I fix it!

Thanks in advance

Edit the search.php file in com_search:

Code: Select all
