Search Results problem.

I dont' know if this is known problem or not, but if you do a search for any with a ' in it, the search results display, but if you click on a link, you get a forbidden page. I think the problem has to do with the highlight function, but i'm not certain.

Yep, same here:

http://www.fireblades.org/forums/fir...ght=%27test%27

Hmmm, working fine here:
http://www.reefland.com/forum/saltwa...t=clownfish%27

I performed the search with the ' at the beginning and at the end of my keyword. Also performed the search with ' at the beginning and end with no problems. Clicking on any of the results opens the thread.

Hello!

Fender963, could you please let me know an example URL?

Keith,
http://www.fireblades.org/forums/fir...ght=%27test%27 seems to be working fine - have you applied some changes since your post?

No, I still get a blank page when I go to that URL.

hello, I wonder if there was a solution for the highlight problem in search results?

The "ltitle" is trying to get highlighted also

What is the URL that causes this issue?

I was told by a friend to use the option in the config for DEFINE SEARCH no_redirect and that fixed the problem

I know this is an old thread but I just noticed I was having the same issue. ASL rules for mod_Security will block the %27 in the url (part of the phpBB worm detection). Whitelist rule id 310080.

Hi guys - I am having the same problem in Vbulletin 4.1.0 with VBSEO - the search results. I get a 404 not found when I click on a link in the search results:

http://www.golf-tuition-online.com/g...ighlight=slice

I have tried searching through all the vbseo settings but cannot find a related one...

Any ideas please?

Many Thanks

What is your .htaccess content ?

Thanks for the reply Mert

I have just coped across the default .htaccess file and now can see the threads but have a different problem...

here is the content of the .htaccess file

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On
# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.golf-tuition-online\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.golf-tuition-online.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]


I have tried uncommenting the three lines above but I still get the same problem, which is this:

I get the full path included in the url for example:

Why do i slice my driver

This should not be in the above url: e/golftuit/public_html/www.golf-tuition-online.com

It should just read:

Why do i slice my driver

this only appears to happen in the search results.

Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Hello Greg,

Please try to enable RewriteBase / directive.

You may also need to set a custom doc root in the vbseoCP advanced settings tab.

Also, double check your trailing slashes in the vboptions. A miss can cause issues like this to show, even without vbseo.

Thanks Brian the custom doc root in vbseocp did it...

thank you for all your responses Brian, Andres & Mert great service
