"Search tool"
Posted by aethelstan on 05-03-05 at 10:35 AM
Hi.

I used to have no problems using the search tool within the archives or not. Now, it seems that I can only get a successful result if I don't click on the "search in archives" box. The behaviour when I do try to search in the archives is that the search tool will try to run for a few minutes (and I'll see the "loading page/thinking" icon on my browser is working) and then it will stop altogether leaving me in the same page I started. It does not display any results or say "not found/unsuccessful".

Do you know of any reason why this may be?

I'm using Mozilla Firefox as my browser but I'm not sure what kind of effect that might have.

Thanks,
~aethelstan

I've been having the same problem lately. I can't search the archives. I was wondering if it was just me. I use both SBC and IE browsers and am unsuccessful with both.

I've also been having the same headaches. A few months ago, I was able to successfully make a search for a certain thread from the year 2001 -- then a few days ago, I entered exactly the same info looking for the same thread, and it was unsuccessful.

Five, too!

Searches Ok, except when archive box checked. This is true even of a search for a poster or a subject (not getting into the message itself). Old archives can be accessed by number one by one, but not with the search tool.

I'm having the same problem with "search."
