Forum search function down? (1)

Could the admins look into this?

Agree. The Preview Post button also resets page to Triathlon forum losing the post.

In their defense, the search function was never very good in the first place.

Use Google and type your query as ________ site:slowtwitch.com for better results.

It’s actually not that bad, and it does have some neat features.

For instance, if I type in your username in the “Search String” box and my username in the “Only show posts made by” box, I pull up most posts where I’m responding to you. Google doesn’t have a corresponding feature.

Have you tried in the past two days?

I like to search the classifieds for particular bike I’m looking for and it doesn’t work for me anymore

Same when trying to search for posts, the particular member has made

I just tried today, and all search functions are down at this moment. Can’t pull up user post history; can’t pull up search strings.

In both cases, the page would take forever to load, before just informing me the following:

Search
Your search did not return any results

I use that function to self-plagiarize myself, all the time

That way, I don’t have to re-tell the same story/joke from memory; I just copy & paste from the last time I used it

We’re investigating. Thanks for the heads up.

This kinda works:
show user posts echappist site:slowtwitch.com

To strengthen your question, if I click on your user name, I used to be able to see your user posts. That list also does not currently populate.

Blimey, the third result from that list!

I would have hoped that the top results would have all been from my bantering in the pro cycling spectating threads. Alas…

We’re investigating. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks, Ryan.

Btw, who, along with you, are the current mods? Is slowman still one of them? Does EWynn respond to requests?

You’ve nailed the main three.

Speaking super generally, my email is my fastest way of getting in contact. My first name at Slowtwitch dot com.

And it’s been restored! Thanks!

should be all good now. Our search indexer ran out of memory. Not sure why. This happens every so often, but like once every couple of years so no clear repro. We just relaunch the indexer. we use Apache Solr for search.
