JimAttrill 24 Posted August 28, 2009 I am a member on lots of forae. These use various engines. The search facility doesn't work on any of them so I have given up using it. Sometimes even google will show me posts that the forum search software can't find. I mean that search facility on some forums won't even find you as a member let alone anything you posted. Pity, but true. I don't know why this is, and as an admin or moderator on some forums I have to just tell users that 'it doesn't work'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Erik 1,812 Posted August 29, 2009 Actually ... Our new search engine is powered by Sphinx which is an incredible indexing agent. After the transition to the new boards I forgot a small config edit which left Sphinx in a state of "well what next". I rebuilt the database permissions and re-indexed sphinx. I heard a sigh of relief I swear! The search engine is up and running as it was intended to be. There's a post in the bug section about this. Give it a go and let me know what you think and that it's working for you. Thanks. E Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
