Search within thread not working?

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. ;-)

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.

:) 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?
