Problems searching stuff

Hi,

I have problems searching csdb... if I type in (for example):

Xenon + <- xenon with trainers... I only get "no results" now.. have worked earlier?

Searching without + works however

it also fails on dots, try searching for "l.a.style" which gives no result. while "la style" does, and finds "l.a.style" =)

Quote: Using 'Schaefers' works, but only for SIDs. My guess would be that the PHP code was never properly set up to handle non-latin1 codepages.

I know for sure that those searches worked before for special characters. The display of the search results was recently changed so it could be that it is broken since then.

I assume the server move brought a new postgres version maybe?

Hi.
I'll take a look at it. :)

And yes, a lot have changed on this new server.
Both the encoding which is used is now UTF8, and a new version og both PHP and the database software.

Edit:
Think I fixed the problem now. The new database works a bit different than the old. ;)
Let me know if there are any other odd things.

Edit2:
About the problems in 'add <whatever>' I got it under control also. But I have to run through all of them to check, so it might take a little while. :)

Went through all the 'add <whatever>' stuff, and fixed quite a lot actually.
There could be a few places with problems after my tampering, so be sure to let me know. ;)

I just found this:

Search for "dragons lair" and it will find 7 matches.

Search for "Dragon's lair" (with the ') and it will find much more - but will only show the first 25 matches.
Then choosing to show all 61 matching releases will fail because the search box will insert another ' - so the search string will be "Dragon''s lair" and cannot find anything.
