BiTRiP Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 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. ;-) BiTRiP Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/216242-search-within-thread-not-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiTRiP Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 @Admins: Any progress on this? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/216242-search-within-thread-not-working/#findComment-1459591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
losmuertos Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 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. connection to unix:///var/socketproxy/insanelymac.com/searchd:0 failed (errno=2, msg=No such file or directory) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/216242-search-within-thread-not-working/#findComment-1460415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breathless Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I have had this problem since I started using this site. Search has NEVER worked for me.

Poco Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 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? iPoco Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/216242-search-within-thread-not-working/#findComment-1474003 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone else confirm this? iPoco 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.

BiTRiP Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 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?
