Forum Search option broken
« on: July 29, 2011, 08:12:16 PM »
At the moment, when searching for terms using the forum's search feature, I receive the message that "Your search query didn't return any matches." regardless of what options are set and what terms are searched for. I'm not sure if it's a temporary thing, but I thought it couldn't hurt to bring up.

So, I know it won't matter the vast majority of the time, but searching for a term only brings up one page of the most recent posts that contain that term.  It would be kinda nice if we got all the instances in the thread/board/whatever.  Yeah.... I really just want this for GESB....

I want to look at just the posts relating to one character in the GESB thread, so I go into the thread and do a search for the name of that character.  The search returns one page of results, listing the most recent post first.  Thing is, there should be WAY more than one page worth of posts for pretty much all the characters within the GESB.  This means I can't find the older ones by searching this way.  It's not an issue with one particular name or anything, I've tried it for multiple characters.  Is this maybe some problem with settings I have for searching?  Can I change those?

i tried searching (when on the forum index) for 'goom' in both advanced and regular.
both of them yielded exactly 30 results (which i believe is the limit per page).

however, when i did a regular search while viewing the staff board, for some reason i got 3 pages. (searching while inside a thread yielded me only 30 though)

something's up.

Yeah Goom, you hit it on the head. I'll try to see what's causing that. Could probably just be a bug.

Any progress on this issue? I tried to search for posts relating to my character back in 2010 in the GESB archives, but it still only gave me 30 of the most recent posts in the thread.
