That's werid..
I can't seem to reproduce this problem on my machine.

Can you open up include/lib/search.inc.php and go to line 180~196. All the queries should be using TABLE_PREFIX. Before patch 4, and 5, I typed it as AT_, and will cause a problem. Can you please verify if the corrections have been made? Thanks

correct, neither in our production server (old php & db) or at atutor.no (new php & db) - I can see that it works on your demo server, so I have no idea why..

If possible, can you send your test server's database dump to my email please?

Thanks! if not, we will figure out another way to debug this.

I am thinking this is probably related to this thread:
www.atutor.ca/view/3/16346/1.html, or
www.atutor.ca/view/3/16290/1.html

you're probably right Harris, and I believe I've found the source now too!

this is related to the use of numbers (or other charachters?) in the table prefixes.

I now have two identical installs at my localhost, one with the default AT_ table prefix, one with AT_162_ as prefix, and forum search only returns results from the one with the AT_ prefix.

(explains atutor.no and my production server too, both have numbers in the prefix)

Do those 2 installation have patch 0004 and 0005 applied? The table prefix problem should had been fixed with those patches.
