AND f.forum_id = t.forum_id
AND p.post_id = t.topic_first_post_id
AND p2.post_id = t.topic_last_post_id
AND u2.user_id = p2.poster_id";

So not sure what to do with this.

The implode glue seems to be fixed in my version though.

The second fix – Its commented out in the code page. And my forum has about 1000+ posts – so not sure what to do with that.

Pls advice.

Your fix certainly would work, and I did consider that when I first realized what the problem was. However, I decided that extending the field size would not really be appropriate. In my opinion, if a user has built a search that exceeds the 65K limit of a text field, they’re never going to get all the way to the end of their list of results anyway. Making the field bigger just means they can get more search matches that they won’t read. It also puts a heavier load on the server during the search process as it has to manage a larger array of posts (or topics).

Change in phpbb_search_results field search_array to longtext
