Title: BBS Search system is FUBAR
Post by: Fencer51 on March 23, 2008, 06:58:05 AM

I have tried using the search to locate an old thread of mine.  I ran '357th', 'P-51', 'P-51D' etc and even used posted by 'Fencer51' and got nothing in return.

Had to manually search for it, here is the thread.. http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,194435.0.html

Why would this not show up?

I absolutely HATE the new search, but maybe it's because I'm dumb?

The search doesn't seem to do anything...B-29 turned up 3 results

The search I did this morning seems to have yielded a better result.

It seems like it isn't looking past the date the BBS was upgraded

It has problems with older threads too, I can't even find my own ones where I can exactly know both poster and thread title. But do not despair:

I am going to look into this when I get a chance.  I suspect it has to do with the conversion from the old board and the search index not being built completely for it.
