[solved] search borked: focuses in edit pane
 

When trying to use search with either ctrl+shift+f or via the file menu (Edit -> Search), it just focuses in the first field for the current item (or the edit area if it isn't a form).

To open a new search, I have to right click on the tree and insert a new search template. There is no way to use the default search feature.

Some clues:
- this only happens in one of my databases, if I make a new database and try it, search works fine
- I upgraded to the lasted UR version, no help
- I'm using Win XP Pro SP2, UR 3.2, with Office Rich Edit support

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot?

Thanks, in advance!

You should be able to do a Repair (might require a full repair, which will reset all of the System items) to "reset" this system search item to the default configuration.

Use Tools | Compact & Repair | Repair database (might also need to check Reset all system information to defaults). Since I am not sure what might be configured incorrectly, you can try it first with a basic repair, if that doesn't resolve it, you can rerun the repair with the "Reset" option checked.

I was able to get the search working again using, after using the Reset option. I'm not really sure what sorts of things I reset, any ideas?

Oh yes, and thanks!

Did you perhaps Move or Copy it with the Move/Link/Copy dialog? Being a system item, you are supposed to be prevented from "breaking" it, but that dialog gives a bit more power at times than you really want (with system items like the Quick Search item).

We haven't reproduced that issue (if you can reproduce it with a new .urd file - zip and send it to support@kinook.com for review).

I was unable to reproduce the problem. I did upgrade after initially discovering the issue, maybe it's fixed in the latest version?

I zipped a urd file which contains the problem, which was created using UR 3.1.1
