Running the latest version 4.5.0 and added both --name "randomuser123" and --useragent "HexChat 2.9.1" to my docker-compose. Docker logs show that client is connected and "CONNECT Message Received". Then I enter a search and see "SEARCH Message Received" but the results are blank. I tried a few popular books so I'd expect to see some results at least. My compose...

  openbooks:
    image: evanbuss/openbooks:latest
    container_name: openbooks
    volumes:
      - /path/to/books:/books
    ports:
      - 8585:80
    command: --persist --no-browser-downloads --name "randomuser123" --useragent "HexChat 2.9.1"
    restart: unless-stopped

Any ideas?

Do you see a "Search Accepted Into Queue" notification in the browser? If not, it's possible you're temporarily banned in the IRC channel. If you enable logs with the --log flag it will write a log file with all the IRC messages sent to your client.

I don't get the search accepted notification. Logs seem to show that I am connected with some welcome messages, then a list of books followed by:

:hyrule.tx.us.irchighway.net 366 randomuser123 #ebooks :End of /NAMES list.
:[email protected] NOTICE randomuser123 :[#ebooks] [#ebooks] Welcome to #ebooks. Read the channel topic for current information!

Then a few PRIVMSG with some ebooks before I stopped the container which showed:

:[email protected] QUIT :Quit: Leaving

I couldn't see any notification of the search I submitted in the logs.

Can confirm. I really don't see any error in the logs:

OpenBooks  | 2023/01/10 01:39:13 CLIENT (daedric): New client created.
OpenBooks  | 2023/01/10 01:39:13 CLIENT (daedric): CONNECT Message Received
OpenBooks  | 2023/01/10 01:39:23 CLIENT (daedric): SEARCH Message Received

And that's it.

I'm also seeing exactly the same thing since updating to the latest version. Logs have the same as what daedric7 is seeing - Docker log shows the search message received, but the detailed irc log has nothing relating to the search in it.

It seems to work for me without passing the useragent command.

can confirm here too. no results are shown and no search query is sent to the irc client according to logs.

I can confirm the issue is somewhere with Openbooks.

I joined the IRC and searches work, Search is answering via Notices, and sending search results via DCC.

After you posted that I tried again without the useragent string but got the same result.

The IRC related changes between the latest version and the previous version are minimal. Not really sure of the cause of these issues 🤔.

Keep in mind that the IRC channel started to ban OpenBooks clients. This release provides ways to make OpenBooks look like any other IRC client.

I know they are able to block specific clients by name pattern. That's the reason for the required --name flag change.

It's also possible that they are blocking any clients with "OpenBooks" in their user agent, so do try to use the --useragent flag to specify the user agent of a standard IRC client.

Lastly, if you've been banned it may take a day or two for the IP blacklist to be removed. Try connecting via a standard IRC client or another device.

I think you're right that its an IP blacklist issue. I reconfigured to run through a Gluetun VPN container and its working again.

I would concur with the IP blacklist observation. Even using Colloquy doesn't work unless I go through a VPN.

The command @search is not working for me on my other manual irc client. so I am guessing that it broke.
Change the search to searchook and it worked

CMD: --searchbot searchook (don't forget to add your -n <name here>

they will probably fix search once they notice. after the change everything worked in openbooks

This worked. Thank you!!

I can confirm search is actively banning the client via IP somehow, even when using a custom useragent.

I can also confirm, using a different tool (but this issue hit via google search), that the searchbot is blocking IPs. Regardless of client I cannot @search anymore but when I use webchat on mobile/LTE I can search fine.
