current code uses @ to suppress the error message, but i would rather suggest to use a faster function which does not produce any internal error messages such as "isset" or "empty". errors caught with @ still get processed by custom and default error handlers and thus it may be much slower in many cases.

original code at line 67:

if ($item && @$item->query['q'] === @$query['q'])

the problem is that this line is reached also from within other extensions, not just the com_finder and thus it would be nice if it was optimized for best performance.

8 Undefined index: q in file: /web/vm2/purity/components/com_finder/router.php line: 67
8 Undefined index: view in file: /web/vm2/purity/components/com_finder/router.php line: 55
8 Undefined index: f in file: /web/vm2/purity/components/com_finder/router.php line: 61
