Try it again. If you still don't get any hits let me know the word(s) you are searching for.
Hmmmm weird...it works now....I searched foor "Square" with both big S and small s and "root"...hmmm....didn't expect this to happend...well well it works now, so I will stop complaining...
I tried searching for my name ("Hobo") and it only turned up four results. It used to turn up many, many results.
I like to see if anyone's talking **** about me so I can beat them over the head with a baseball bat.
If you do a seach for Hobo using a Search By User Name - Match Partial Name, you'll get a lot.
I don't want to search for posts made by me, I want to search for posts with 'Hobo' in them.Quote:

Maybe it had to do with the forum upgrade. Who knows? Who cares?
At least google likes you a bit more. :)
I think I misspelt my search.
You always have to be better don't you....or is that me...:confused:...:D
You're an interesting guy but I doubt you were mentioned a thousand times.Quote:

You aren't around much... At least I haven't seen you in a while...
I'm serious. It was at least a thousand. All the questions I answered and people said "thanks, Hobo" "that doesn't work, Hobo" "hey hobo"Quote:

You honestly think someone's only typed "hobo" on these forums 9 times?
I used to be. So shouldn't all those posts still be there?Quote:

I'm not trying to make myself out to be famous here. Just pointing out that the search isn't working as it used to, or something else is up.
Well there were a lot of post lost during the great debacle, perhaps you were just unlucky.
You mean the great debacle that happened like a year ago? Because it was just a week or two ago that I last searched for 'Hobo' and got all those results.Quote:

It really doesn't matter either way. Just trying to point out that something changed.
I'll see if Brad can add anything to this discussion.
That would be some luck! In the search I get 9 hits but the weird think is that there is a gap of a whole year! From 11-28-2002 to 12-29-2003 it shows nothing!Quote:

You could do other searches, too. Mendhak only shows up about 16 times (don't remember the actual number), and all 16 are since late December 2003. He was never mentioned before that? I know that's not true.
I think something got fuggled somehow.
I have the same problem as Hobo.
Search is not working as it should
hey note! romve the resolved thingy from the subject :D
I moved it....I did nearly write *Unresolved*...but do I want to get banned....NOOO....:D......I think I just proved my point in my first post in the Unresolved thread.....some thread just turnes around and gets unresolved again....:D
BTW if I am searching for Note...I am getting 28 pages....how popular ain't I....:D
I ran the "re-indexer" for the search remotely. I'm going to ask that someone run it directly on the server today and see if that takes care of the issue. This will happen tonight or later today.
Brad
B.J has a solution to everything....thanks Brad...looking forward to it...
ØØ
Actually, I'm looking into the indexing in more detail now. I see it stopped before it got to the last thread. I'll pick up the indexing from where it left off.
I was re-running the indexing to allow words up to 25 characters to be included. Once completed, you'll be able to search on terms from 2 to 25 characters in size.
Brad!
yay! Go Brad :)
Just an update. I'm rerunning the recreation of the index. It has been running since my last post in this thread (couple of hours). It has indexed the first million posts and is still going strong....
The Hobo will be famous yet again as soon as the indexing is done.... ;)
Brad!
Damn, and I thought installing VS.Net took long. :eek: :D

DirectDrawColorControl now returns two results. The indexing is (finally) done.
Brad!
oh yeahhh ... its working... The Hobo = 954 posts :D
good work brad :)
I guess both of them are my threads...::D....so many stupid people at this forum....why can't anybody teach me some DirectX....:DQuote:

Brad!
PS: Thanks...you have been great help here. Like to see that you take us seriously.
[Edit] Finaly I did put back the resolved tag to this thread. And looked like I convinced Martin that we need [Unresolved] some times in a thread...:D[/Edit]
I am only in 300...:(....but a lot of members just call me note so that still gives me 219 pages of threads (8760 threads...;))...:DQuote:
