Rikifive 24,221 May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 (edited) Yeah, this is a pretty popular issue with that search feature. Try using the advanced search page, it performs much better than this quick bar. I tried searching for the same thing as you; quick search resulted in the same error; doing the same in the search page gave results really quick. I suspect there may be something wrong in the code of that quick bar. Perhaps some tiny error. That actually made me kinda curious now. Would like to take a look Edited May 24, 2018 by Rikifive 1 ❤ ■■■■■■■■■■ ⭐ ■■■■■■■■■■ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 I tend to have more luck searching keywords in Google with MLPForum as my first keyword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
碇 シンジン 27,433 May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 It was suggested back then that using Google's feature site:url here like site:mlpforums.com for example and then the keyword was the recommended way of searching 1 Rarity Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,860 May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 Search issues here are a cultural tradition. Seriously though, a good internal search is not easy to maintain here. The sheer amount of time that was dedicated to fixing it every time it took a vacation was a PITA for most of the tech pones. I say we should sacrifice a plushie in a volcano to the gods Monge-Elkin and Hamming. That should do the trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikifive 24,221 May 24, 2018 Share May 24, 2018 ...But if the search page works, then quick search should work too- there has to be something causing that. Most likely in the code (?). ❤ ■■■■■■■■■■ ⭐ ■■■■■■■■■■ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,860 May 30, 2018 Share May 30, 2018 I want to move this to Tech Support. I'm not sure if this was resolved after the upgrade, but it appears to be fixed. It's going to remain on the current systen issues list for a few days, but in the interim @PiratePony and @Rikifive and anypony that reads this please let us know if it happens again to you.

tinker 89 May 30, 2018 Share May 30, 2018 I can't believe you tricked me into searching for that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
