      VARNAME parses output from wrong article in SEARCH

      When I search my FAQ area for the term 'Direct Message' then the second result is the article /wiki/General_forum_use
      In the snippet, the VARNAME does not parse as 'General forum use' but the title of a different article in a different area.

      As of 4.1.x, your page's description is not automatically generated, but manually set using the Description textbox on the Edit tab. Descriptions no longer use BB-Code. I've looked at the page in question and this page's description is showing this way because it is literally set this way. If the description is incorrect, you should manually update the field using the Edit tab. This change more matches the VaultWiki 3.x behavior that disappeared in 4.0.x.

      Possibly it was set incorrectly back in the days when it was automatic (4.0.x), but since it is not automatic now, you will need to make the correction yourself.

      When descriptions were automatic, they were not tracked separately in a page's history. So it is not possible to find out when the problem first occurred, but since the problematic code that generated the description is no longer in use anyway (unless to need to upgrade 4.0.0 RC 3 or lower, all now-unsupported versions), the underlying issue would be moot.

      There is no Description textbox on the Edit tab. Is it possible to batch delete all descriptions through query? There is no way that we are going to edit all wiki articles to write a new description.

      On your site, the Description textbox exists on the Default style, so it looks like you manually removed it on your custom style.

      You can batch delete all descriptions by:
      Code:
      UPDATE vw_revision
      SET summary = ''
      However, I do not recommend this, as it will affect your SEO to dramatically change them like this. You've been using the same descriptions for years. If you have only noticed a problem on 1 or 2 articles, it's better to just modify the articles that need updating.
