Description John Arthorne CLA 2011-01-28 17:04:23 EST 
I20110128

Search doesn't work on IE. I'm sure this worked in yesterday's build...

For example I go to:

http://localhost:8080/search?q=var

And I get back:

{"responseHeader":{"status":0,"QTime":1,"params":{"wt":"json","fl":"Id,Name,Length,Directory,LastModified,Location","hl":"true","q":"var"}},"response":{"numFound":0,"start":0,"docs":[]},"highlighting":{}}

Doing the same query on FireFox on the same server instance gives a large number of hits.
Comment 1 John Arthorne CLA 2011-01-28 17:19:28 EST 
This appears to be a client problem. The request that arrives on the server is:

GET /search

I.e., the query parameter is missing.

Actually ignore the previous comment. I'm not sure what's going, but trying to run with latest from master I can't get the client UI to load at all. Giving up on debugging it for now.
Comment 3 John Arthorne CLA 2011-01-28 17:45:48 EST 
Grr, this now seems to be working consistently. Maybe I had multiple servers running or something. I will reopen if I see it again.
Comment 4 John Arthorne CLA 2011-01-31 10:51:28 EST 
Tested again this morning on a fresh build and all seems good.

Did you try Cache > Clear Browser Cache from IE's Developer Tools at any point while you were seeing this bug? This seems to be the only reliable way to clear IE's cache.

I've had a few nasty surprises where IE's aggressive cache policy caused it to load stale client code. Maybe that was the case here?
Comment 6 John Arthorne CLA 2011-01-31 13:19:48 EST 
That could certainly be it. I didn't clear the IE cache at the time.
