  * version:  => 1.0.14


Comment:

 Your find output suggests you've been using omega since pre-1.0.0
 versions.  If you started before 0.9.7, then maybe your query template
 builds the xP CGI parameter using periods as separators rather than tabs -
 that would explain the issue you're seeing (which is bug #87).  I'd look
 if you have something like this:

 {{{
 $list{$queryterms,<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=xP VALUE=",.,.">}
 }}}

 and if so, replace it with this:

 {{{
 $if{$queryterms,<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=xP VALUE="$html{$queryterms}">}
 }}}

 But the 1.0 release series is essentially obsolete now, so I'd recommend
 upgrading.
 And (as I said above) I can't reproduce this issue with more recent
 versions.

 One thing to be cautious of though is that we never made a "1.0.14a"
 release, so it looks like someone may have patched the install you are
 currently using.

 I'm not sure how you are installing Xapian, which rather affects how you'd
 upgrade.  If you're using a Linux distro, then they'll likely have
 packages of recent versions of xapian-core and omega (or xapian-omega),
 and you should be able to upgrade via the package manager.  If you're
 installing from source, then download a newer release and follow the
 instructions in INSTALL.

 There are notes on deprecated and removed features here, which it's useful
 to review, especially when upgrading to a newer release series:
