If anyone is willing to give me a database dump of a forum that's having this issue, send me an email (smartys@ this domain)

$db->error());

Here is the code of the search.php action, the troubled query being search.php?action=show_unanswered

EDIT: the Ugly hack has recently been added by Ju (one of the admins).

Specifically, I'd need to see what queries these no hits pages are running

On the Ubuntu-fr forum, powered by PunBB, the show_unanswered query has been displaying this result for a few weeks: Your query did not send any result (instead of a possible "there is no answer to your query"). It seems that this result is due to a huge number of possible answers.

By now, the administrators of the forum limited the query to all hundred last unanswered posts. here are the questions:
- is there any PunBB configurable -or not- limit to a query, and especially this one?

Some tests were done by members:
querying "nvidia": about 8300 posts, on 278 pages
querying "ati": about 7500 posts, on 252 pages
querying "ubuntu": No hits (strange as it has been done on an Ubuntu forum)
querying "drivers": No hits (we all know there are no drivers issue on Linux wink

Here is the post on this subject (sorry, french post): http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.ph … 10#p961010

EDIT: Is there any mean to force this query to return only the related posts of the last week, 2 weeks or month?

Thanks for any suggestion to help the admins
