Broken Search

!Friendica Support So I upgraded my Friendica node today, and the search seems to be broken.

Anything I type into the search box just yields a blank page in the result.

Edit (mentioned in comments but I'll put it here too):
Searching tags works (/search?tag=).
The follow button is giving the same blank page issue.

The resulting blank page is pretty much immediate. Virtually no lag which would usually indicate the database lookup is hanging.

...and by blank, I mean a completely empty result. No HTML whatsoever.

@Jonathan Lamothe Have found a brief /usr/bin/mysqlcheck --all-databases --optimize -P<databasepassword> helps when this happens. Make sure Friendica isn't running when you do it.

@Sarah Brown Since I have multiple databases and they all have different passwords, is there a way to specify the specific database, rather than --all-databases.

I suppose I can check the man page.

@Sarah Brown Also, I'll try this tomorrow, but in the past, when it's been a database issue, there's been a long pause before the blank result was returned. This one is nearly immediate.

@Jonathan Lamothe The stable release introduced several costly database updates since the search index has been reworked. Please make sure your database schema is up to date with bin/console dbstructure update. It should have been automatically updated with a run of the background worker but it's possible you have a different setup.

@Hypolite Petovan Already checked. It appears to be up to date, but when I run that command it produces no output whatsoever.

When you say "blank page", do you mean a white page without any content on it or do you mean that the system hasn't found any results? If this is the latter, then it is expected. We introduced a new table for the search index. This is built in the background and it will run some time (probably days).

@Hypolite Petovan @Michael Vogel I'll have to check that when I'm at a real computer (I'm on mobile, ATM).

I'm wondering if I just need to bump up the memory available to MariaDB again. I've had to do that in the past.

@Hypolite Petovan Forgot there was a web interface for the logs. Here it is:
Error: Call to undefined function Friendica\Util\idn_to_ascii() in /var/www/friendica/personal/src/Util/Network.php:543
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/friendica/personal/src/Module/Search/Index.php(245): Friendica\Util\Network::convertToIdn()
#1 /var/www/friendica/personal/src/Module/Search/Index.php(131): Friendica\Module\Search\Index::tryRedirectToProfile()

#4 /var/www/friendica/personal/index.php(55): Friendica\App->runFrontend()

Looks decidedly not like a memory or database issue.
