Hi,

I really don't know where else to turn anymore. We have a civi-drupal installation with some custom fields, about 50000 records. Everything works fine. Until after a while. Then the search builder doesn't show custom fields anymore after selecting "contacts". It's very strange, the search builder will work without a glitch, until it doesn't. Reproducing it so far means: waiting long enough until it breaks. It works after we clear the civi-caches. At least for a while and then it breaks again. So we've been looking at cron-jobs, turning off (some) cache, nothing seems to help.

Same story for the advanced search: if we search by a custom value then sometimes, all of a sudden, it won't take that part of the query in to account. Does anyone have any pointers, at all? I know it's a vague question but I don't know what else to say. There doesn't seem to be a specific trigger, it just... happens.

Thanks in advance,
Vincent
