On my forum and on this forum, if I go to http:// forum address /search I get a 500 error.
Any known workarounds?
Thanks!

Can you give the complete address?
I’m not sure if this is a correct address for this application, is it? @zogstrip @codinghorror @sam
I’m not 100% sure it worked on this forum before, but it definitely worked on mine: http://talk.sparrowbrowser.com/search
This looks like a legit bug, though not high priority since few people will find themselves here.
If you search for e.g.
Search results for 'community land protection' - Grassroots Justice Network Community Discussions
you get results.
But if you visit …
Search results for '' - Grassroots Justice Network Community Discussions
… or even …
Search results for '' - Grassroots Justice Network Community Discussions
… you get an ugly error.
Would be more sensible to be shown a blank search form ready to be used to search for something.

Yeah, using the magnifying glass link works just fine. For us this is an issue because we liked the /search page a lot and are pointing people toward it.
Not what I’m getting using Firefox by a direct click on the link
But if I put the URL into the address bar I get a blank page.
A relative link thing?
Seems that the bug is in chrome, i got and error too.
Interesting to know that it’s browser-dependent!
I can repro this issue locally, working on a fix now.

Can you explain me how the ‘if result’ works in this case? I will appreciate it a lot.
It will only run find_user_data(guardian) on result, if result has a value. In this case, since you are visitng /search directly, there is no result

Oh i got it! Thanks for the explanation, cheers! I think this post should be closed right?
Yep, search page loads fine now: Search results for '' - Discourse Meta
