Curmudgeon Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I've had no returns from searches on all boards, all year for a few weeks now - is there a problem and are you aware of it? Or am I suddenly doing something wrong?

StraferJack Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Is it an acronym you are after? Or even just any 2 or 3 letter word? They tend not to work everI did a search for tattoo earlier and that worked fine Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18642-hello-is-the-search-function-not-working-at-the-moment/#findComment-457960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Administrator Posted July 26, 2011 Administrator Share Posted July 26, 2011 It is working but as StraferJack says, it doesn't work on two or three letter words.

Sue Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I haven't been able to use the search function at all for some time, regardless of what I put into it - long words included.All I get is "your search is running, please be patient" for hours.Is anybody else having the same problem?

Administrator Administrator Posted August 23, 2011 Administrator Share Posted August 23, 2011 It works for me, is anyone else having an issue?

david_carnell Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 As it happens, yes. I run IE at work (compared to Firefox at home) and there I have the same issue as Sue.What I actually have to do click search and then whilst it looks like it is still running the search click on the hyperlink entitled "Click here to return to the search page" or somesuch. That then brings up the list of results.More of a small irritation than anything but if you get a chance to take a look.

StraferJack Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 We have IE (six!!!) at our work too, so just did a quick test - works fineunlike almost anything else in IE6but the forum generally (like most sites) runs a bit more flakily in IE6 to be fair. So if the search is working ok for me now in IE, no guarantee it will later Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18642-hello-is-the-search-function-not-working-at-the-moment/#findComment-468974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laddy Muck Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Some of you might find the following useful.Hubby scared the living daylights out of me recently when he announced that he was "fed up with Microsoft, Word etc." and was going to "ditch the lot". I panicked because I am not very good with technology but was, at least, used to MS/Word etc.He replaced MS/Word etc. with something called "Ubuntu". Apparently, it's free and it tends not to get negatively targeted in the same way as the much more used MS/Word etc. I was sceptical, thinking it would take me years to adapt - technophobe that I am. But no, it's so incredibly user friendly AND everything works MUCH faster - including this Forum. Booting up/shutting down is super-speedy too. Hubby laughs every time he catches a glimpse of me working/playing at the computer. He smiles to himself because he cannot believe how has has received no complaints. Try it, as I say, no complaints whatsoever. I am really impressed.

david_carnell Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I think we've just upgraded to IE8 after a LONG time with IE6. Might be something to do with that.Sue - what browser are you running?
