Is the search function glitchy?

[+ 7829V]

I’m having trouble finding threads about masseurs that I’m almost certain existed.

Is the search function not working correctly?

I had trouble getting the site to open.

Make sure you are in the right context.  When you search, you could only be searching the specific topic, or a specific forum.

There was emergency maintenance happening with our hosting provider.  You might see intermittent availability for a while.

Rob is spot on with that advice.

I've accidentally searched "THIS TOPIC" by mistake more than once while thinking...."I know damn well this was discussed before."

Always make sure your search is set to EVERYWHERE if you're having trouble finding something.

@RadioRob Is there a way to set “Everywhere” as the default, regardless of where the search is initiated?

This is not able to be picked per user.   I've suggested it to the software developers, but we'll see if anything happens with it.  It definitely won't make it into the next major 5.0 release as it's feature locked and being beta tested only to address bugs.

I had similar issues today looking for a thread that I knew was there about an escort. I tried a variety of combinations of words and search options and eventually resorted to Google where I found two threads.

Searching everywhere is not currently working either, nor is searching a particular forum.

Only way I'm currently succeeding at searching is going to google and searching "companyformen" plus the provider name.

I’ve started a rebuild of the search index to see if that fixes it.

The search index rebuild is almost complete at 99%.  I've taken a few keywords and compared them to the number of results now vs earlier.  It appears to have worked as I'm picking up a lot more results.  So give search a try again!

Yes, @RadioRob, the search I mentioned above now returns the set of results I would have expected, which it didn't yesterday. Thanks.
