Search function not working??

cvhoss · February 4th, 2008, 02:49 PM

It appears that the search function is not working. No matter what words I type in to search on, I get the following response:

1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : spoiled

1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : tennessee, ammunition

1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : antarctica

works here too!

check the dates section... maybe something is tweaked wrong? are you just using the quick search function?

It's working for me as well, but you're not the first one to say you are having problems with it. I am going to plan on rebuilding the search index later tonight, which will require the site to be down. Hopefully that will fix the problems some people have been having.

I've tried the following:

Cleared DefensiveCarry cookies
Logged off and back on
Restarted computer
Usually use FireFox for a browser -- Tried Internet Explorer

All resulted in no change. Get the same error message. Search has worked for me in the past. I first noticed this yesterday when I was looking for the post about the Tennessee bill to serialize bullets. Also, this happens with both quick search and advanced search.

I'm hoping tonight's maintenance will fix it for you, Hoss. Please let me know if it's been fixed tomorrow....
