"Search" Not Working!
Not in all cases, but it seems that posts older than a certain date cannot be searched. eg. test...

Re: "Search" Not Working!
I am having similar issues. When I try to search something, I either get results from 2020 or from 2010. There is no inbetween. For instance, if I search something like Dilworth, I'll see posts from 2010 but nothing since then. It's like that with almost anything I search. Is it an issue on my end?

Re: "Search" Not Working!
Yup, only years ending of '0' get searched!

Re: "Search" Not Working!
That is really strange. I just searched "pot" and got posts from 2006. I'll see what Troy has to say!

Weird... it seems like searches return 2020 and 2010 and before.

Re: "Search" Not Working!
I've done a number of searches (using key words or person name) knowing there are threads out there, nothing shows up.
as example I did a advance search using the word earthquake under BC. 1 post showed up even though there is 6 or 7 pages in the thread BC Earthquakes.

I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

Re: "Search" Not Working!
Any word on if the search feature will be fixed? I'm still getting results from 2020 or 2010 + previous years. Nothing is available between 2020 and 2010.

Re: "Search" Not Working!
If Troy around tomorrow he will be right on it.
Thanks for reporting.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Re: "Search" Not Working!
I have the forums software currently rebuilding the search index. With almost 2.5 million posts on here, it’s going to take a while. I’ll post an update once it has finished.

Re: "Search" Not Working!
The search function should now include all posts. The re-indexing process finished in the middle of the night.
