Forum search error

ProsperProsper ✭✭
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

When I run a search on my forum using the default search function, I get red box with a huge error message which starts like this: The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns|Gdn_Database|Query|select * from ( select match(d.Name, d.Body) against(:Search0 in boolean mode) as Relavence, d.DiscussionID as PrimaryID, d.Name as Title, d.Body as Summary, d.Format as Format, d.CategoryID as CategoryID,

Please any idea on how to solve this problem?

    what version of vanilla? do you have sphinxsearch installed?

    did you run utility/structure?

    I use version 2.1.1
    I ran utility/structure and got the message below
    "There are no database structure changes required. There may, however, be data changes."

    Clicking on button "Run structure & data scripts" says "The structure was successfully executed."
    However, the search function on the forum is still producing error as before.

    Error is like this:
    The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns|Gdn_Database|Query|select * from ( select d.DateInserted as Relavence, d.DiscussionID as PrimaryID, d.Name as Title, d.Body as Summary, d.Format as Format, d.CategoryID as CategoryID, concat('/discussion/', d.DiscussionID) as Url, d.DateInserted as DateInserted, d.InsertUserID as UserID, 'Discussion' as RecordType from GDN_Discussion d where d.CategoryID in (-1, 33, 34, 35, 3, 52, 51, 6, 40, 4, 1, 8, 9, 11, 36, 32, 31, 16, 17, 13, 30, 14, 20, 21, 22, 15, 42, 41, 28, 29) and (d.Name like :Search0 or d.Body like :Search1) union all select c.DateInserted as Relavence, c.CommentID as PrimaryID, d.Name as Title, c.Body as Summary, c.Format as Format, d.CategoryID as CategoryID, concat('/discussion/comment/', c.CommentID, '/#Comment_', c.CommentID) as Url, c.DateInserted as DateInserted, c.InsertUserID as UserID, 'Comment' as RecordType from GDN_Comment c join GDN_Discussion d on d.DiscussionID = c.DiscussionID where d.CategoryID in ('-1', '33', '34', '35', '3', '52', '51', '6', '40', '4', '1', '8', '9', '11', '36', '32', '31', '16', '17', '13', '30', '14', '20', '21', '22', '15', '42', '41', '28', '29') and (c.Body like :Search2) union all select p.DateInserted as Relavence, p.PageID as PrimaryID, p.Name as Title, p.Body as Summary, "page", null, concat('/page/', p.UrlCode) as Url, p.DateInserted as DateInserted, p.InsertUserID as UserID from GDN_Page p join GDN_Discussion d on d.DiscussionID = p.PageID where (p.Name like :Search3 or p.Body like :Search4) ) s order by s.DateInserted desc limit 20

    Relavence - at first I thought Sphinxsearch was the only plugin that misspelled relevance incorrectly.
    but vanilla misspells it as well :)

    Are you using sphinxsearch or is it disabled.

    I don't even have the plugin sphinsearch on the forum. So should I download, install and enable it on my forum?

    I guess you are the unlucky recipient of this... maybe a few people will act as well instead of being passive and just asking for help.

    out of curiousity is there a reason you didn't add your results to here to help the community...

    or were you only looking for help instead of giving it >:)

    http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/26703/plugins-themes-that-work-and-don-t-work-in-vanilla-2-1

    disable all of them and see if search works.

    I've already spent more than a few hours helping you in the past, take a few minutes and help the community by posting what plugins work and don't work and give reasons (e.g. blank page on setting) if they don't

    @Prosper peregrine is right. Most important is to post which plugins aren't working correctly. Disable all plugins and enable them one by one using the search, so : all disabled ... search, enable ActivityPurge, search, enable Add Menu Item, search and so on...

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    @peregrine - Thank you for your assistance solving the issue of search function not working on version 2.1.1. VanillaCMS was the cause and has been disabled on the forum.
