Search function not its usual self

Post by ausdag »

Has anyone noticed that the Search function seems to be a little under the weather lately? I try searching terms in the "Uilleann" forum that I know have been discussed many times but nothing seems to come up. "throat" yields no match, 'reed blades' - I get one hit, 'Uilleann' -only 19 hits, 'cane' only 2 hits.

Something seems not right.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Someone in the Whistle Forum mentioned the same thing, and now you, which clinches it. We'll see if we can't get to the bottom of this.

Thanks Nano. I must mention though that I've been experiencing the same thing over on the other forum, which had me wondering if it was an issue at my end, but I haven't done anything different or changed any settings since the time that searching yielded much more profitable results on both forums.

Cheers,

David

Got two matches for "chiff" (now three, with this post) on the most general search possible. That totally does not work.

It shouldn't matter what forum you're in when it comes to launching Searches. You do your narrowing down in the Search function.

The other day 'Throat' yielded 'no match'; today '514 matches'. Looks like the issue has been resolved. Thanks for your efforts, admin team!
