Question Search function in 1.5.3 doesn't work

Your original SEO settings were counter-intuitive and counter-productive. See Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in the Wiki.

I just assume leave everything with SEF off to eliminate that extra possibility of an issue. I have everything set to NO in the SEO settings and the htaccess.txt as so.

I've gone and retested the advanced search on both 1.5.3 and 1.0.10 kunena forums on the vanilla websites and I'm still getting the error page I displayed in the image above. A broken white page with just a bit of the links at the top. (See my image above in earlier post)

PLEASE NOTE FOR THOSE TESTING - It will only return this broken page if you search for a keyword that actually exists in a forum category you select. If you select a forum category(s) that DOES have a match to the keyword you entered, THEN it will return the error. So find a match, error, dont find a match, only shows a no results line.

Can I assume that setting all SEO options to NO and setting the htaccess file to htaccess.txt eliminated SEO as a possible issue here?

No. Never assume anything. And remember the .htaccess file is called dot-htaccess

Well Im open to some more suggestions.

Okay i moved/copied my site from my webhoster to my local Wampserver 2.0.

Now search does work

Only thing left to do is to see what is different between the 2.......

Check the PHP, MYSQL, APACHE versions of the servers. As seen in my post #21202 above local and live servers are above recommended requirements but the versions on my live webserver are a bit older, and the search breaks there. STILL IT SHOULD WORK.
