What are you talking about? Upgrading when you have issues with software
IS an important thing. If you upgrade, and your issue disappears. Then
that means that your bug is a known issue which was already fixed and
then released to the public. That's how software go, we release new
versions to improve and fix issues with older versions of the software.
Suggesting an upgrade is also a viable option. This lets us know if your
issue is one which is already known and fixed, or if it is a issue which
still exists in later versions of the software and may need to be fixed.
Old versions never get fixes except for large security issues with them.
Versions are not individual pieces of software, they are individual
points in the lifetime of a software which is progressively improving
and fixing itself. You don't fix legacy versions because they are not
broken. They are not broken because releasing new versions of that same
software with fixes for those issues, is the method of fixing the
software. Because whatever version, that software is the same software
^_^ Though, probably time to end this philosophical rant.

Hmm.. That's not a proper solution. There should
be some explanation why
this behavior occurs :(

As always, you should upgrade when a new release comes out.
Could you try updating the MediaWiki on both boxes?
That MAY solve your problem. If not we try something else.

Hi All,
I'hv a strange problem with my MW 1.11. I have a test version on my
local Windows machine and the live one on a linux server (intranet). I
don't know when this problem started
coming-not sure whether it has
been there since beginning or it started after some changes.
When I search with SOME keywords, my production wiki returns a "blank"
page. If I use the same words on the test wiki, no probs-results are
returned (content in both wikis are same). Some of the problematic
words are "transaction" (transaction backout has no problem),
function, cards (plastic cards is fine), account etc. I tried to
reproduce the problem in the test wiki by copying SearchEngine.php,
SearchMySQL.php,SearchMySQL4.php,SpecialSearch.php files from live
wiki to my test wiki- but the test wiki still runs fine.
Any idea for the possible cause and solutions?
