The filter operation in Sellerdeck returned a script error. The error was: [SyntaxError: parseJSON]

In a Swift site when searching for some but not all search terms an error was generated:

The filter operation returned a script error. Please try again, and contact us if the error persists. The error was: [SyntaxError: parseJSON]

This error persisted despite applying the fixes at:
https://community.sellerdeck.com/for…rror-parsejson
and
https://community.sellerdeck.com/for…taining-quotes

Sellerdeck Development have kindly come up with a solution:

Please go to the current site folder and take a backup copy of ‘SearchScript.pl’

Open the script in a plain text editor and find the following lines of code::

my $nResultCount = scalar (@arrProductFields);
my $sResults = join ('","', @arrProductFields);

and replace it with::

my $nResultCount = scalar (@arrProductFields);
for (@arrProductFields)
{ s/"/\\"/g; }

my $sResults = join ('","', @arrProductFields);

Save the changes and upload the site

This resolve the issue that Norman noted, but the other issue is with regard to caching. I think this deals with another issue, sadly the ‘ SyntaxError: parseJSON’ error is a catchall.
