[Site] Forum Search Broken?

Community Forums/Bug Reports/[Site] Forum Search Broken?

Chalky(Posted 2017) [#1]
Suddenly today I cannot search the forums. No matter what I enter in the 'Search for:' box, and no matter which forum I try, I get "ERROR: No search terms entered!".

Can anyone else search ok?

Confirmed, doesn't work here too. As a workaround you can use Google's site search feature "site:blitzbasic.com searchterm"

It is based on a change which skidracer introduced today ... which I already warned of ;-)

You need to wait until he reverts the latest change ;-)

I will not revert. Instead there is a temporary solution that shows a google link.


Derron(Posted 2017) [#5]
I've sent him some suggestions on how to tackle such bugs. Maybe it helps.


bye

There is now a google search based form and we are investigating improving quality of search by including more meta data for the search engines.

Guest accounts such as used by the robots can now see the archived forums and with some more meta data hopefully the code archives will become easily searchable.

Nice solution!
