Search Not Working

Then I stopped the ufovidmag.com site, stopped and restarted IIS.  No change.

 

It's Windows2000 IIS5 (I know its old), so not 100% sure on the Application Pool configuration, its set to Default Application in the Home Directory tab.  I've never touched it before.  Scripts Only execution, Medium Pooled for Application protection.  I have the performance bar set to 10,000 or less a day (all the way to the left).  Doubt that has anything to do with it.  Just trying to give you as much info.  Appreciate the help.

 

Its gotta be something server wide it seems or something similar to the configuration of each site.

 

I tried renaming the global.asa file and doing a search, but I didn't stop and start IIS while doing so.  Going to give that at try and see.

 

The current global.asa file just appears to have FrontPage db setups from when I was learning how to do basic ASP stuff.

 

Is there a test search query that I can use in mysqladmin or Navicat to run on the database and see what sort of output (or not) is given?  I tried to look through to code and see if could have been simple, but it appears to be quite a complex query.  Maybe with something like 'horse' in it, as that should produce a lot of hits in the equestrianpage.com forum.

 

I'm almost leaning towards the possible conversion from Access to mySQL?  Maybe character set issues, like a character that was valid in the Access database isn't in mySQL?  Though I figure Navicat would have said something about that?  Strange though, when converting the database to mySQL, the database itself seemed relatively simple and straight forward.

 

The only "strange" occurance that I have noticed beyond the search not working, is in the ufovidmag forum, the "UFO->General Disscussion" forum is displayed before the "UFOVIDMAG->General Discussion".  So it would be UFO->General Discussion, then UFOVIDMAG->General Discussion, then UFO->Yakima, then the rest of the UFO area, and the rest of the forums in proper order.  I wonder if that is it. I need to re-order the forums?

 

When I click within one of the forums, then go back to the Forum Home, it is displayed correctly.  I'd say this happens about once every ten times I view the Forum Home.  I have not observed this behavior on the equestrianpages.com forum at all.

 

I am using the latest mySQL ODBC that I downloaded and installed prior to the database conversion, update(s).  The week of August 12th.  I hope I am not sending you off on unrelated stuff.
