SteveStar Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hey, I think the search topic function is very handy but now it doesn't work anymore... For example when I type in the searchfield 8800gtx and in that same topic the word 8800gtx is posted a few times -> Then in the search results it states that there is no match. I tried this several times but I think it doesn't work So could and would anyone fix this?! Many thanx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hmm, yeah, you're right. I'll note this down for the devs. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 it works better if you use it properly. Go to the search function & watch what you enter in *every* field, dropdown & checkbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 LOL :blink: I didn't take the time to click the link but props to you numbers for taking the time to share this "Wai2phail" find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Yeah, wondered whether that would work or not.. Thanks for trolling rather than letting me know.. the link was to a search for the term above that was claimed not to work.. I logged out & checked it from 2 machines, os x & windows, clearly the search id expires or some such because, quite right, the link no longer works. What I did: Click Search at top left enter 8800gtx select "all forums" & "show results as posts" click the search button it works every time for me, even if it's not possible to paste links to the results. p.s. did it again & this works for me right now.. I dunno if it's ip-based or just times out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhail Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Nope not IP based. The search id (Where your search is stored) expires after a certain length of time. That's why that error occured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Thanks Suhail.. is there any way to create links to searches that wouldn't time out like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComplexMind Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Sorry, couldn't resist. Having tonight registered and admin'd myself to reply to this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry560946 I couldn't help but notice that full text indexing does not seem to be configured properly on this board. If I am right then this would certainly have an adverse affect on searching the site. I'll speak to the guys once everyone is back in this week and see about getting it sorted out. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComplexMind Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I just tried a search for '8800gtx' on all forums and got back six pages of results!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstition Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I used to get "admin has flood control enabled" when attempting to do a search randomly, and I got it twice today. However, this is the message I am getting the most frequently now: Erreur Sphinx : unknown local index 'ipb_search_topics_delta' in search request I was trying to search things like rs482 and ati xpress. Logging in didn't appear to help, and neither did changing the searched forum. I also tried Firefox 3 instead of Safari. Unlike in the past, I can't seem to search at all.

ComplexMind Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 sorry about that, since fixing the sphinx we added another delta index for topics which was generated but the daemon was not restarted to load the new index up. Fixed... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 google 'search this site' works fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emersk Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 It would be extremely helpful if the Search Topic box on the lower left was fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
