Search button - Requested Page not Found

[mmerrell]

When I click the JDownloads search button I get a 'The requested page can't be found' message.

It also says this at the bottom of the page:

If difficulties persist, please contact the System Administrator of this site and report the error below.

0 mb_strpos(): Argument #3 ($offset) must be contained in argument #1 ($haystack)

Thank you!

joomla version ?
jdownloads version?
Did it work before?
What did you do/changed?

[mmerrell]

Apparently the secret was to just reboot the physical server.  After my backup ran last night (server shutsdown during the process), the search button in it works!  I'm sorry I didn't do that sooner.

Joomla 3.9.27 - newish install, not a lot on it, in development on XAMPP
Jdownloads 3.9.7.3 - Fresh Install

Thank you so much for your response!

Hello,
I have the same problem, it looks like it is a PHP8 problem, I just do not know where to search to try to apply the solution as per the Joomla tracker forum here: https://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/33113

when I set the site to use PHP8 I get this error at the moment I hit search.

mb_strpos(): Argument #3 ($offset) must be contained in argument #1 ($haystack)

If I put the site back to PHP 7.4 the problem goes away.
Please help.

I have: Joomla! 3.10.6, LAMP,  jDownloads Version 3.9.8.2
