Hey admins,

I'm often trying to do a search within a thread but it ALWAYS returns with no results.
Even when I try with a specific word that I'm sure it's in a post.

How come? Can it be fixed or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks. ;-)

@Admins: Any progress on this?

Sometimes it works... usually only once though.  It's insanely irritating, because a lot of the threads on here go for a bazillion pages and I'm only looking for some highly specific information.  This is what usually happens:

Click on topic
scroll to bottom
type keywords in search box
at this point i sometimes get results
if it did work the first time and I  click back and search again, or search on any other thread in another tab, I usually get:

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature,  or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the  help files for more information.


The error returned was:
   There was an error processing the request.  Please go back and try  again, or contact an administrator for assistance.

I have had this problem since I started using this site. Search has NEVER worked for me. In the one forum that needs the search function the most.....

Seems admins doesn't care about this since nothing is changed so far....

The search was fixed (or so we thought) but after some trying I found the following: The search only shows posts before mid 2008 ish. Can anyone else confirm this?

I can confirm. Searched the Tiger-Post-Installation sticky for "sleep" and got 5 pages of results.  Newest was like June 2008.  If you look at the actual thread, one of the posts on the last page from 2010 has the word sleep.

Unfortunately I can only confirm its not working yet.
Like always I get this output:

Unfortunately your search didn't return any results.
Try broadening the search parameters by searching by different keywords or altering the format of your search.
Remember to use the wildcard '*' to increase the number of matches. Apple* will match 'apple' and 'apples'.

Search Again?
