So I have this installed for years I suppose. Two environments which I thought were identical.

However 1 config shows right column and under that is enable ajax search

Config 2 has 11 fields between here which includes turning on and off the manufacturers box and more

This lack of those fields is causing an error on the system without those fields. Perhaps I missed a step on one of these which was pretty important because I can throw 1,000 error logs a day with this.

Also the one missing the fields says date added as 1/9/23 not today (day of install of latest version) the actual init file generating the error is in fact from 3.6.2 and yet those fields do not show in admin.
