Here's the problem: Search.pm, sub GetByWordList(Substr)?: foreach my $w (split(/[\s,]+/, $strs)) { We allow both space-separated and comma-separated lists of words or strings. If the string is just a comma, then it bypasses our checks for no-value, but we don't have any words, so you get nothing out of the sub which constructs the SQL, and this error message. We don't have this problem with just spaces, because the value gets trimmed. Options: - disallow comma-separated lists, and make them separable only by whitespace Pro: can search for only commas (but why) Con: some people may use commas as separators - Check for a string containing only commas and treat it as empty Pro: Keep current split behaviour Con: can't search for commas; unexpected behaviour (condition ignored) when you try. Gerv
i'd prefer dwim behavior. if i enter just whitespace or just a comma, search for it. also, i'm guessing i can't do csv style searches: "the,", "something", we might want to consider allowing them. i suppose most people don't want to search for commas, but considering all of the wonderful bugs that our CSV support introduced, i'm much more likely to want to search for commas and csv strings today than i was a week ago.
This isn't a regression; 2.16 does the same (except that the internal error is printed to the error_log, not the screen, giving a 500 error) This also doesnt' work in 2.14, which just stops teh script outpu after printing the 'please wait' screen

Yeah, I want to search for all bugs where I've addressed a remark to somebody. In all of those I wrote something like: Somebody, Please get off your butt and ... So, yes, I want to search for "Somebody,"
