Thread:Extension talk:SphinxSearch/Some pages arent found - and the "second" search is different than the first one/reply (7)

Babacuekk: 1.17 is a rather old version of MW. Any chance you could update? This could be an issue with how the search box is generated in the skin, or maybe how encoding is done - it would help if you would post url arguments for the two cases.

Lsilverman: What is your version of MW? On 1.22, even though I do get the profile=default in the URL too, the results are the same in both cases. If you check your sphinx.conf, you can see where the query.log is. Watch that file to compare the queries in two different cases.

As for the behavior of Special:Search, the behavior you expect is the correct one, and that is how it works for me. Maybe there is some setting interfering with things, or some of the code is different in your version of MW.
