R.I.P. Search is dead

[MilesMingusMonk]

Shoutbox, new skins, chat and video reviews are are nice and shiny, but what about making search user friendly? Regular search is useless, the advanced search isn't returning any results, and member profiles only pull up a few posts or topics. Maybe it is time we changed it to "The Original CigarPass est 2000 2012" since the archives are no longer accessible. :whistling:

Maybe it's just not your friend.

Wah waaah waaah wah waaahhh.

....but the Charlie Brown TeacherTalk app seems to be working fine.

Search is part of another server. Due to how large the database has become over the past 12 years, we're having to use another server to manage searches. I'll work on it later today, the indexes most likely need to be rebuilt.

Search seems to be broken again.

Thanks, Moe. I was just about to post something similar myself.

Same here. Nothing but "No results found". Frustrating.

Tried to search something yesterday and it was dead. Search is dead, long live search!

I fixed search. Took me a little longer than expected as I had to reconfigure some ports.

 

[Acclaym]

Yes! It lives!

Rob, thanks a bunch! You're the man.
