Hi,

activate debug to see the query produced with/without each search field. I presume that without the filter some table needed for join is missing, the solution would be to add this table in the search join before your join so it is always included and/or base the join on some table that is always in the query e.g. cck_core table. You can join the same table twice and combine it with other joins (inner, right etc) to get the necessary effect. 

Hi Klas,

Thanks for this answer, the thing is that when I activate debug Joomla is not showing the debug-area below the screen in case of an error...

I've switched templates but this doesn't help, is there another way to catch the debug-info?

BTW, examining the error message (Unknown column 't0.lsm_lrm_id' in 'on clause') it is telling me that the system is looking for a field that indeed doesn't exist in t0 (cck_core_table).

Below is the full query when fields are filled and the query executes fine, I cannot replicate the error-query (yet):

SELECT t0.id AS pid,t0.pk AS pk,t0.pkb AS pkb,t0.parent_id AS parent,t0.author_id AS author,t0.author_session AS author_session,t0.cck AS cck,t0.storage_location AS loc,tt.id AS type_id,tt.alias AS type_alias
 FROM `nu1pc_cck_core` AS t0
 LEFT JOIN `nu1pc_cck_store_form_lesmateriaal` AS t2  ON t2.id = t0.pk
 LEFT JOIN `nu1pc_content` AS t3  ON t3.id = t0.pk
 LEFT JOIN `nu1pc_cck_store_form_leermiddel` AS t1  ON t1.id = t2.lsm_lrm_id
 LEFT JOIN `nu1pc_cck_core_types` AS tt  ON tt.name = t0.cck
 WHERE t3.state = 1  AND t3.access IN (1,1,2,3,6,8)  AND ( t3.publish_up = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' OR t3.publish_up <= '2018-10-19 13:16' )  AND ( t3.publish_down = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' OR t3.publish_down >= '2018-10-19 13:16' )  AND t0.cck = 'lesmateriaal'  AND t2.lsm_dt_id LIKE '%458%'
 ORDER BY t3.title ASC  LIMIT 25
