I am trying to update templates/page.tmpl.
I disabled search through the web interface. let the site rebuild itself. I enabled search through the web interface, let the site rebuild itself, it seems ok.
Not sure if it was something I did in my page.tmpl or not.
Well, you worked around the problem in the right way. It's nothing to do with your page.tmpl or anything you did, this is some sort of bug in the Xapian serach engine, where it seems to corrupt its database, and the only thing I know to do about it so far is delete its database and reindex.
Ideally, I should eventually capture one of these corrupt databases and investigate further what's going wrong in it.
For now, I have upgraded our version of xapian, in the hope that this fixes whatever bug in it has been causing this problem. If not, at least we'll have a current version to report a bug about.
fwiw, i had a similar problem here with another ikiwiki-hosting instance that i run. the problem appeared after we setup two-way mirroring of the wiki.
i have a tarball of the corrupt xapian database, mail me if you want a copy.
