Advanced search bug in 3.2?

Roy Viggo Pedersen	Friday 03 October 2003 6:43:22 am When you go to advanced search in a 3.2 site, like http://www.ez.no/content/advancedsearch/ it search for the string "", even if the SearchText parameter don't exist. Is this a bug? I guess it's related to this bug: http://www.ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/bug_reports/advanced_search_empty_string_but_class_qualified_should_be_allowed Roy

Tony Wood	Tuesday 07 October 2003 8:39:15 am Jan, In the bug description you say that the mySQL table is locked until the copy is complete. Is this you doing this in code? mySQL should only lock tables that it is updating http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Locking_methods.html so I was wondering why this situation occurs. Would http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/CREATE_TABLE.html Create temporary table help as this create a table for the current connection only?

Jan Borsodi	Wednesday 08 October 2003 1:16:08 am No it's not our code that locks it. The reason for the lock is the behaviour of tables that are of type MyISAM. The table will lock any UPDATEs if a SELECT is running. It can also lock INSERTs in some cases. To avoid this problem you can change the table type of the ezcontentobject (and probably some others that are referred in the search) table to InnoDB, however this probably causes every other operation to be slower. What probably needs to be done is to rethink the search engine, maybe create a new search handler which does things a different way. We also though about having a MySQL specific handler which uses the full text search support in the newer MySQL. -- Amos Documentation: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation FAQ: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/faq
Tony Wood	Wednesday 08 October 2003 2:26:37 am Forgive me, I see the problem. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Table_locking.html I love this solution. "Try to get the SELECT statements to run faster." - We should give mySQL guys a prize for this ;-) Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!
