Discussion Forum Search not working - legolex76 - 2023-05-13
Dear Admins,
I am currently checking which LDR files of official sets have been posted on the forum, so I can work on completing the missing ones.
While doing this, I noticed that the search function for the forum does not appear to be working properly. As an example, I searched for set 1497 - Pitstop and Crew, first just with the set number, then with the description, but I got the following message.
"Sorry, but no results were returned using the query information you provided. Please redefine your search terms and try again."
As I was sure I had seen it somewhere before, I eventually found it here, by going through several of the threads using the browsrrs "find on this page" feature.
This issues does not always seem to happen, e.g. sets I recently uploaded myself seem to appear in the search just fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for the report but this isn't something I can fix. Search is coded by our forum software, myBB. Whats really wierd is that I can search other set in the thread and get hits so I'm not sure what going on. You can use Google to search the forums. Use:
"<search terms>" site:forums.ldraw.org
using:
"1497 - Pitstop and Crew" site:forums.ldraw.org
return the correct post.
