Looks ok to me:

http://www.myshortpencil.com/k12wiki/index.php?search=blogroll&fulltext=Search
"Showing below 4 results starting with #1."

Can you narrow down the conditions under which this happens? (Account settings etc?)

Thanks for your prompt reply. I just checked my site from another computer I have
running IE 5.5 and WIN 95, and the search came back correctly and as you
reported. I restarted my IE 6.0 WIN 98 Computer and the search for blogroll still
comes back as:

Showing below 0 results starting with #65,791.

Isn't that peculiar?

I note that in the search results page, {For query "blogroll"} is correctly
reported on both computers.

I also note that running a search on Wikipedia on my WIN 98, IE 6.0 computer correctly
executes the search request. (Searching for blogroll there shows 26 links).

Sorry to keep adding comments. I also note that a search for Dead End Pages using
my WIN 98 IE 6.0 computer reports:

Showing below up to 0 results starting with #368,821

But my WIN 95 computer correctly reports 4 dead-end pages.

At Wikipedia, on my WIN 98 IE6.0 computer, I see lots of dead-end pages. Could
there be a reason why SEARCH and DEAD END work fine at wikipedia but not at my
K12WIKI? My SEARCH PREFERENCES at K12WIKI are set at the default values for Hits
per page, Lines per hit, and Context per line.

After working on K12WIKI with my WIN 95 IE 5.5 computer for a while and reading
articles at Wikipedia, I happened to do a search for "blogroll" as I did in the
initial bug report and rather than report 4 pages, it found

0 results starting with #83,771.

So, now I've had the same problem on two computers with different operating
systems.

More info and a theory:

I've noticed that lots of my special pages aren't reporting results correctly,
including broken redirects (0 results starting with #61,401), categories (0
results starting with #61,401) and newest pages (0 results starting with
#61,401). Create an account, all pages and system messages are working.

One problem might be that I'm running php as a CGI module and this may behave
differently than at Wikipedia and Wikimedia. Here's my local settings on article
paths:

1. 1. If using PHP as a CGI module, use the ugly URLs
2. $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript/$1";

$wgArticlePath = "$wgScript?title=$1";
