Darkelmo Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 This may have already been adressed but I find the search bar on both this forum and less so the archive forum utterly useless. There are just some names I can type in that detect nothing. And the filters are set to find the appropriate thing. I attempted to search up a player with their name exactly as it has been stated on their ban appeal and other topics where their name has been mentioned and i get no results for comments or topics. The only thing I can get is if I search under users. I don't understand whether it is broken for me or if it is just really crap quality search coding. Not to critisize you guys, I know that there is alot to ur work more important than my search bar issues but if you could check it out, that'd be quite nice!

Cyotie911 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Darkelmo, are you using just the search bar or are you using the search form too? (the search form is the little gear thing next to the search bar) And yes, we know that the search on the old forums sucks. It was part of the reason we switched to these new forums.

It sounds like he is saying the old forum's search is better than the new one, and I have experienced that, too. The new search bar gets the job done for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelmo Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) I meant that all the things used as a search tool on this site don't really give results unless its for a link to a members profile I tried to search 'jauris' today and got zip Edited November 18, 2013 by Darkelmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelmo Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Works better on mobile devices, got all the results needed on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schererererer Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Are you changing the parameters of the search for just the search bar? The default searches just "This topic". Click on that to change it to "Forums" or whatever other category you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyotie911 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Works fine for me. It returned an entire page of results for me. Like Schererererer said, make sure you aren't just searching "This topic" and select forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
