How to stop Silverstripe SearchContext from throwing Version Table_Live error - search

Question

Consider the following Silverstripe page class
<?php
class Page extends SiteTree{
static $has_many = array('OtherDataObjects' => 'DataObjectClass');
public function getSearchContext() {
$fields = new FieldSet(
new TextField('Title', 'Tour'),
new DropdownField('OtherDataObjects', 'Other Data Object', array('data', 'value')
);
$filters = array(
'Title' => new PartialMatchFilter('Title'),
'OtherDataObjects' => new PartialMatchFilter('OtherDataObjects.Title')
);
return new SearchContext(
'Page',
$fields,
$filters
);
}
}
Adding this search form to a front-end form and posting a search form always results in a [User Error] with a SQL error containing something like this at the end.
AND ("DataObjectClass_Live"."DataObjectClass_Live" LIKE 'title') ORDER BY "Sort" LIMIT 25 OFFSET 0 Table 'database DataObjectClass_Live' doesn't exist
My searchcontext search throws up an error each time I try to run a search on a has_many relationship. The versioned extension seems to be the culprit because it adds _live to all tables regardless whether the baseclass has the versioned extension or not I get the same error in SilverStripe versions 2.4.x and the latest 3.0.x versions.
Any help or pointers will be appreciated.

Answer 1

maybe try using an sqlQuery. something like
function SearchResults() {
$select = array('*');
$from = array('OtherDataObjects');
$where = array('OtherDataObjects:PartialMatch' => '%' . $data['Title'] . '%');
$sqlQuery = new SQLQuery($select, $from, $where);
$results = $sqlQuery->execute();
return $results;
}
$data['Title'] is to be the value from the search textbox
