Search Function Broken?

DocHawk · 09-29-2011, 11:55 AM

Just this AM, searches seem to have lost their results pages beyond the first page. You get the first 20 or so results, and if you click on another page of results or NEXT, you get "No topics or posts matched your search criteria." Yet, the first page clearly shows 132 results and 8 pages to click on.

This worked yesterday. Anyone else seeing it? Tried two different computers, by the way, so it isn't an isolated case.

Search is 'spotty' to say the least. It's on my 'to-do' list right up there with 'site-upgrade'.

I am having the same trouble. Only the first page available.

Additionally, rather than having the choice to search:

<<Search topic title and message text>>
<<Search message text only>>

...it might be better to have

search title
search title/message text

Hard to do a targeted search when both currently do the body of the thread...imho

on edit:
I am now getting all pages of search result today...(but not yesterday?)
weird...
Still would like to be able to search title only, though, fwiw

grrrrr...
still only getting first page of results; tried several computers---
Any suggestions?

I haven't had that problem. I wonder if it's a cookie setting on your computers.

ecoast · 12-20-2011, 03:06 PM

...might be, but honestly don't think so.
I will go thru it, though.

for instance, the other day, I went to make this same (no worky) post as I was unable to get to page 2.
Made a post, tried another search, and it WORKED, deleted post...lol

So here I am on the same 'puter, same settings, and no luck since.
weird.

I 'll check my coputer's settings; thank you for the suggestion!

ok 'think' it may be a search issue--

the only settings I had been changing were:

forum =enduro forum

results = all

...which does not work (for me).

IF- I leave results to the default (200) works fine; can access beyond first page.
no worries.

ecoast · 12-21-2011, 09:03 AM

WELL-

I am, again, mistaken, as today I am unable to get to page two as I was yesterday...

frustrated; there is no reason for it to work one day and not the other?

Hard to access info w/o search... :roll:
open to more suggestions; ANYONE else having trouble?
(sorry to be a bother)

ecoast · 12-21-2011, 10:03 AM

...AND now working--same search; minutes later...lol

(I feel like I'm losing it!)

i wanted to check a post i made ages ago and a search by author comes up with 84 hits on 5 pages. but only the first page displays, after that it says sth along the lines of "doesn t match search criteria".
