    Angry Search busted?

    What's up with search?

    I searched on hijri and got a lot of hits - but none of them contained the word.

    Same with other words. Some seem to work and some not.

    Search is an essential part of this board.

    Those who can not search history are condemned to repeat its postings.

    Unhappy

    Any admins working on this?

    Makes the whole forum a bit pointless without search.

    Searching by UserName works just fine. As said above searching for a string returns a whole bunch of useless stuff. Searching by username and a search string gives a database error.

    Don't see why that would be...

    I wondered if it might be cookie-related, so I deleted all cookies and tried again. Stil busted. And now all my cookies are gone, including some I now find I should have kept. Fnargh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am reindexing the search index at the moment. This may take a while, but it should help.

    Yes, that seems to have fixed it.

    Thanks John.
