Search seems to always require Keywords to produce results

xynergy 2 Nov 2015 18:11 problem, complete

Hi Low,
I'm trying to do the same thing but can't seem to get it working in EE v2.10.1 and Low Search v4.2.0

I want to allow search by keyword, category or both but can't get it working without a keyword. It works fine if keyword is entered both with and without a category selected, but if you leave the keyword out, I get no results every time (see image)

Form & Results code here: http://pastie.org/10524931

Thanks in advance!

   Are you using Encoded Queries or GET variables?
   
   Do you have dynamic query caching enabled?
   
   Can you copy/paste the template debugger output (lines that mention Low Search) for such a no-results page?

   Hi Low,
   Thanks for the reply - no, I'm not using Encoded queries, so the variables are coming in via the query string parameters.
   
   eg: http://example.com/contact-us/directo...
   
   And no, I'm not using dynamic query caching either.
   
   And here are the lines from the template debugger output:

   Can you try and upgrade to the latest version? If that doesn't help, I'll need to take a look myself. In that case, please send SuperAdmin login credentials to hi at gotolow dot com if you can.

   Ah, sorry I didn't realize there was a later version - updating to 4.4.0 fixed the issue.
   
   Thanks very much!
