Show Older Items is missing since update

[beerForo]

Affected version

2.3.8

Show Older Items is missing in search since the last update. Search results now end at 10 pages with no button available to show more.

I just realized this myself and came to post a bug report about it.

Hope they fix it fast, this is a huge feature, I wonder if it will affect SEO and indexed pages?

Seems to be working ok for me -- i have enhanced search. are you guys running regular?

 

[beerForo]

Regular.

I don't see it here on XF either.

I'm having the same issue after the v2.3.8 upgrade. Using the regular search.

And 2.3.9 did not fix it.

Thanks for the heads-up - same here on 2.3.9

This code exists (===) in 2.3.7 so i'm not sure why the 2.3.8 upgrade would break it.

There must be another area that effects this?

2.3.6 is slightly different with the double ==.

$maxPage = ceil($search->result_count / $perPage);
        if ($search->search_order == 'date'
            && $search->result_count > $perPage
            && $page == $maxPage)
        {
            $lastResult = $resultSet->getLastResultData($lastResultType);
            $getOlderResultsDate = $searcher->handler($lastResultType)->getResultDate($lastResult);
        }
        else
        {
            $getOlderResultsDate = null;
        }
