Search Anomaly
While using my site search program I typed in the word "freek" and ended up with not only ZERO results but also the entire page refuses to load.

If you type in “Cake” in the search bar you get normal results, other words come out fine except that word “freek”

This does not work on all sites only this one: ssan.com

Does anyone have an explanation for this?

My guess would be that you have something like <%if span%> and no endif - so that if there is one page of results you don't get any.

Thank you afinlr for taking the time to answer, but all tags are closed and it only happens when I type in that particular word.

“freek”

If I type in the correct spelling of “freak” is shows up normally.

It isn't just that word - I can make it happen for lots of searches.
Can you get any results which don't have a page span? Give me an example.

Edit: If you want to pm your search results template I'll see whether I can spot anything obvious.
