Hi guys, as title says..

Is anyone else having problems with them?

Some posts that I previously searched for works but now my own forum topics don't even show up but I can somehow find posts dated over 4 years ago so it is working..

Any help will be appreciated.

We recently moved servers (see the other threads here in the nuts & bolts forum) and there are still several things that are 'broken', one of them being the search function.

It will get fixed eventually, but for now, your best bet is just to to a google search for your topic while directing it to only search dakka dakka.

If you don't know how to do that, you can actually google how to do it (google search a specific site).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Awesome thanks.

And sorry didn't even notice this part of the forums.

I'm aiming to fix it on Saturday with luck

Just an update to note that this is now planned for this weekend. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Lego - didn't know if you knew but the search is still not working (I experienced site downtime yesterday which i assumed was to fix this, if not my bad). Good luck with the code, and sorry if you already knew this

Yup, needs a few extra bits of code to rebuild the index - next weekend now.

**Tactical_Genius**

Ok thanks

Keep up the great work

The rebuild is in progress but will take a few more days. I've had to disable the search box until then as searches while it updates breaks the updating. I'll post here when it is done, though there is a moderate chance that it will break the site because of the intensity of the rebuild, and I'll be back to square 1 (or square 3-ish more realistically).
