Search results, wrong default value

Germont

This is strange. Why would any developer would configure a default search value of 0 results per page, considering there are also beginners like me.
I had to modify this line in /forum/conf/config.php:
$Configuration['Garden']['Search']['PerPage'] = '10';

Other than that, thank you for a great software

It is strange how you got zero, considering ....

There will be no line relating to $Configuration['Garden']['Search']['PerPage'] in your config.php or the config-defaults.php.

Unless you manually add the line the search result will default to 20.

There is nothing in the core vanilla code which would force 0 results per page.

https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/blob/ec5b13f6713dae42cd835267cea328d8e8559432/applications/dashboard/controllers/class.searchcontroller.php#L77

    list($Offset, $Limit) = offsetLimit($Page, c('Garden.Search.PerPage', 20));
    $this->setData('_Limit', $Limit);

in this case if you didn't manually add the config line to your config.php the default would be 20 for the limit (NOT 0).

if you remove $Configuration['Garden']['Search']['PerPage'] from your config.php, you will see that the default is NOT 0 but 20.

There are many config statements that are not set by the dashboard. this is one of them.

these are some of the settings that can get changed via advanced...

some may not occur in your config.php unless you save from the advanced screen.
