I've made a last test at work. It depends on what I'm looking for ! :confused:

I've got the issue only If I'm looking for the 3 words in this order "kami karavan magie" as shown in the screenshot.

BUT If I'm looking for "kami karavane magie" (notice the "e" now at the end of karavane) which is the right way to write it in french, I've got not error. :eek:

I've made the test at home with the same computer, but on my local network without any firewall between the computer & the forum server.

I still have the issue, but it doesn't show the same way.

When I search for "kami karavan magie", I've got a white screen as the search result :(
When I search for "kami karavane magie", it is fine.

I've looked on the network transactions, the white screen is due to the fact that the forum server closes the TCP connection before sending any HTTP answer. :eek:

I've got the same kind issue with Internet Explorer.

It's probably a limitation of the software, the more words you use the more specific the search is. Since the one combo exists and the other doesn't it seems BBS software restrictive.

Doing a few more searches, you can actually search for many terms, it seems that some terms are blocked by searching. I have alerted the webmaster about the problem.
