technical issue Search Function Broken?

[Sazama Ichida 2,352]

I happened to notice that ever since yesterday whenever I tried to use the Search Feature I would get no results with my search no matter what I typed...Is anyone else having this problem?

I've almost always have had problems with the search engine. It's more useful just to use google's search for mlpforums. 

 

The biggest problem I get is that it never refreshes, so it might catch an older topic but not a newer one.

I'm having this problem too, however I can still search for Members.

Google should be catching topics Within 30 minutes. Try site:mlpforums.com Cutie Map and test it out.

 

And yes IPB Search is inefficient. However search appears broken. I'll forward this to tech when I get out of the Airport.

Update

 

Advanced search works, and nav bar search is pulling inaccurate results. I'll keep updating this topic.

And it's broken again as I write this, unfortunately.

[Sazama Ichida 2,352]

I can still search in the RP characters and members sections but whenever I try to search on the forums it doesn't pull up as many results as it should.

[Jeric 46,834]

I've notified the appropriate parties. I'll let you know when search is back up. 

[Mrain901 216]

It was up for maybe a week and a half or so, but it's down again.

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

@@Jeric, It's down again unfortunately. Just giving you guys a heads up.

It's not working for me, i tried searching something and i didn't get any results.

[Lightwing 12,955]

Confirmated. The search funcion isn't working right now.

[Jeric 46,834]

I pinged tech about the continued issues.

[Sazama Ichida 2,352]

Still not working. Just letting everyone know.

Still not working. Just letting everyone know.

It goes up and down. It is on the cards to find a permanent solution.

Issue has since been resolved, so I'll be locking this thread.

If it happens again, or you have further questions, feel free to start a new thread.
