Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Plz excuse me. My point is that, upgrade to a newer version is not the solution for each and every problem. I'm not only a user, but a learner as well (in fact, most of the OSS users as well). I want to know what causes MediaWiki to behave like this. If the problem can be solved with a small change in a file, why should I take the pain of upgrading with migrating all my customizations?
If u see my first post, what I wrote was
Any idea for the possible cause and solutions?
Before finding the solution, my concern is what causes the problem and why this problem.
Regards,

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. On Jun 4, 2008, at 11:18 PM, Jack Eapen C wrote:
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?
