Advanced Search still messed up
Dec 9, 2006 1:52AM PST

Advanced Search for Bently shows ZERO entries.

Search Forums, show 36 posts with the LATEST post by Bently to be 12-05-06.

Search comes up ...SORT BY "RELEVENCE", even thought I change it to Sort By "DATE". It always reverts back to
"Relevence"

Same results in Flat view, Threaded or Tree .


FYI

Thanks

Ben

If you are using Mozilla Firefox and the extention NoScript,

allow

cnet.com

and

i.com.com

It should then work

But why. . .

do all my posts listed show zero replies when there are replies. It's not a scripting or layout error, it's a counting error. Software is still broken.

Search software is still broken, yes ...

and I don't expect Lee has a mechanic to repair it during the weekend. Not 24/7 software service here.

Whatever I search in advanced search (on author or subject), I get zero hits. Very annoying.

I agree that this is a server-side problem, and that Pudgyone's remark is totally off.

It did work for about a week...

The 'sort by date' part was on the fritz most of the time, but for about a week there the general search function did work. That, combined with message marking getting worse by the day again, something that the new forums were supposed to prevent, is annoying me as the months wear on.
