On the "quick search" page the next page doesn't work

Post by clickhereordont »

I recently installed Serendipity 1.7 and I got it all setup how I wanted only to discover that the "next page" button doesn't work at the bottom of the search results page. I'm using "Idea" theme, and figured maybe I messed something up when I edited the css file. I'm not code literate. So I deleted my blog entirely and re-installed it. However on a fresh install the problem is still there. So I re-installed again to a different directory, but the problem persists. When ever I click on next page to go to page 2 I just taken to the "you must enter 3 characters or more page". Anyone know what the problem is?
I tried searching the forums but the other results don't sound related to my predicament.

And this happens on search bottom pagination only?
What did you search for?
How much occurrences of the searchterm do exist?
Additionally to the "triple-char+" restriction, there is also a restriction to have at least 3 or 4 possible results in 3 different entries handed back, else you will always get that "you must enter" page.
Search term URL would look like this with mod_rewrite: /serendipity/search/win*/P2.html

The situation seems to have changed, I'm no longer getting the "you must page", it's morphed into a bigger problem.

I've discovered this doesn't just occur in search results it also occurs on my main page, and I don't get directed to the "you must page" anymore, sometimes I get sent to a "P" page, but it's not the right one, or a no search results for query page.

For example, on my main page it will have a next page button, but it doesn't take me to page 2 it tries to take me to page 3, if I click it again then again I get page Page 2, again page 1. If i click previous when on page 3 I will get page 4 (which is the only way to access page 4).

In search results page if I search for "tags" which is in every post , when I click the next page button it will try to take me to page 3, and then says no matches to query, even though it will previously have said it found 10 results and only displayed the first 3.

In search results page if I search picard which is in 5 results it will display the first 3 then if I click the next page it will take me to page 1 (which I'm already on) and if I click previous page once on page 1 then it will take me to page 2 but give me a No query found.

I'm so confused. Silver lining: At least the next page button isn't giving me the "you must" page anymore. :P

Which Serendipty version exactly are you using?
Upgrade to 1.7.2, if possible. http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=19467
What does your Backend / Sidebar Configuration → Path → URL to blog say? Do they all have a value?
Give us a Live-URL please, to see by ourselfs.
