If us *****ing more helps, we can do that

 

Man the fact that the search hasn't been fixed for so long really sucks. I am a software developer and am sure that if the person that takes care of this web app had started even looking at it 1 day ago it would have been fixed. I don't believe anyone has even looked at the problem yet.

 

i understand your frustration but the people who work on this site also maintains many other sites. so there's not just one person sitting there looking at one website.

i can assure you the IB team is looking into it and the issue is given a high priority.

this is day 2 of IB looking into the issue after the screens.. i was told the tech team was not able to replicate the issue until i showed them the screens and the step by steps provided by the members.

all i can ask is for your patience while this is being worked on.
Thanks,
Dan

 

LOL...no it's ok i hear you guys loud and clear.

 

for now. Been using since the wackiness.

Let's not get too unhappy, we still have options.

 

I'm a php/mysql developer so if there is any questions or consulting etc just pm me. I'm happy to help you guys because this forum has helped me a great deal over the last 3-4 years.

 

what the ****?
1) click the search button above the stupid search box, search for something.
2) review the non-relevant results.

jebuz, danny, wth are they doing to not replicate the problem?
I want their secret!!!!!!

 

And here I'm the one told to ditch the attitude. Nice.

 

don't know if there was a backlog or something...but i told them there's something up with the search and it wasn't working. a week or so later i got the response that it looks like it's working on their end and if it's an issue to get them step by step on how to replicate the issue. i provided them that and they said ok we see it now. so here's where we are.

usually they know when it's down and they normally just go on and fix it without me saying anything so i give them a few days to work that out...but after the few days i still saw complaints so i reported it.

i don't know the secret. i figured it would be pretty easy to see that search is dead but i guess their guys wants more step by step?

 

Maybe since they are diagnosing on their own network, they have a live link. Perhaps you can suggest they take a laptop or use a computer on a different IP (in other words, not on their network) and try:

1) a regular search;
2) an advanced search;
3) a search via the big search box;
4) Go to member profile\statistics\all posts by [member]; and
5) all threads started by [member].

It's been consistently dysfunctional for many days now. They should not have a problem replicating it.

All except (3) will yield "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

(3) will just produce random results not even remotely related to the search terms.

Hope this helps

 

It's working for me. Been working since I heard about this bug. Tried chrome and IE8, it never failed, not once. I can also search users posts through the advanced search.

It'd help to know which browsers you are using, the ones having this problem. Also, if someone who is NOT having this problem comes by, it'd be really useful to know it (if the bug is not present for certain people with certain characteristics, then that's a good tip).

 

Still not working in IE or Mozilla, XP Pro, or win 7.
Same setup on the www.clublexus.com forum and theirs function fine.

 

If I use Advanced Search for all threads created by me, it returns those threads. Perfect.

If I click "Find all threads started by [me]" in the "Statistics" tabpage in my User Control Center, it fails with nothing found.

If I run an Advanced Search on the keyword "NWP", it finds nothing... which I'm sure we can all agree is in error.

 

Wondering if this new "issue" is related to the whole newbie's being able to start threads w/o 15 posts.

I've got at least 3 less than 15 posters starting new threads.

 

Doesn't work at all for me using either IE7 on my laptop or Safari on my iPod. Fix this **** already!!

 

If the server owner has upgraded PHP on the server this is hosted on it may be causing the issue.
As a temporary fix, edit the /vb/search/criteria.php file and replace this part:

if (method_exists($this->search_type, 'get_display_name'))
{
$hashstrings[] = 'type:' . $this->search_type->get_display_name();
}
else
{
$hashstrings[] = 'type:' . strval($this->search_type);
}

with:

$hashstrings[] = 'type:' . strval($this->search_type);

 

we are being patient, and wanted to say Advanced Search is Where it's at. Beats everything else.

 

i was informed that search is now fixed.

please do some tests to make sure everything is taken care of.
thanks!
Dan

 

the new white search box at the top of the screen is still broken...

The regular search box on the right side in forum sections is now working...

 

Advanced Search works for me now. As does the "statistics" section of member profiles.

Don't care about the new, big red search.

 

can you shoot out some screens? i did a search and the results came back with (what appears to be) the right results...but if you have a different experience then please post up the screens.

thanks!

 

thank you sir.
thanks again for your patience.
