Something Up with Search

[BlowFish 10]

If you hit advanced search at the top right and type in a user name you get a small subset of posts compared with clicking on the users name in the forum and selecting find all posts by this user? The user name I was looking for was Anna-Maria.

 

I seam to remember search was not returning all it should a while ago but thought it was fixed?

Yeah, I see the same thing. I'll get it looked at. In the meantime, if you look for a thread with very few posts in the results, click it then find the user. Click the username and then click "Find All Posts By..."

 

Sure you know this, but just in case

Yup that way appears to work.

 

I do recall some issues with search a while back I wonder if they were completely resolved.

[TheNegotiator 13]

Not sure. I thought it wasn't working at all a while back. I'll keep you posted on the progress when I get something back.

Sure whatever works Only comment is that a lot of sites seem to return results in a rather ugly fashion. Rather than being in the sites style results are returned in googles plain blue links & black text on a white background. That really is being nitpicky.

 

Would you still be able to search by user and text?
