When I do a search for 'Barry' on my desktop using the top right search bar here.....

y.PNG.da603530b83a312869af908620951b36.PNG

 

....the response comes up for 'all content' as you would expect:

z.PNG.ef7df65cbb73a29d605d7ce2639a1945.PNG

 

However, every search I do from that point on from the top right search bar defaults to 'Status Updates':

zz.PNG.de29d0742d6a4c70377118b2446a34d8.PNG

 

If you don't spot that you've only searched under Status Updates, you may assume a zero results return is for all content. But you'd likely be wrong. Valuable Barry posts may be missed, if this glitch is not rectified immediately.

Immediately  I said.

Oh C-G-C search func-tion

It makes searches di-sa-ppear

Oh C-G-C search func-tion

Don't go too near (don't go too near!)

Response to some of the quick issues to address:

 

  1. Search drop down changes - Probably would have to be re-tested as a few minor boards versions have been released, and I know they keep messing with search. I haven't looked at this. Generally, we've been considering replacing the main search with a plugin that uses google instead. Mainly because the boards software's search facility is problematic in a number of way - not least that it's limited to a 4 year index and even that performs poorly. As a result, we're not investing much attention in it.

Haven't had those  yet, but it's been loading as if I were on dial-up.

Very slow on and off today Mr Pontoon, yes. I've just noticed your custom title and, coming from the man who once (alas unsuccessfully) championed support for the 'D' word, I have to say I think it's excellent :headbang:

I also see that you are a mere member like me, given that you joined in 2006.

hm

Skypinkblu is also a member, having joined in 2005:

Poor old Ken and Kirby Jack are also mere class of 2008 members:

So I'm assuming Senormac has compromising photos of the admin team...

It's a good job Seasoned Veterans don't have special privileges or anything!

Oh, hang on.... hm

I thought everybody who had at least 10K posts at the time of the transition to the new boards got the Seasoned Vegetable designation. 

Maybe you had to be logged on during the week they made the switch? hm

I took both pics today.  It seems that different areas of the boards show some members as members in one place and seasoned in others.  But Mr Pontoon changed within minutes of my taking the first screen shot so maybe a mod was watching and corrected it.

Have a look at top members under the leaderboard now. It shows Roy as a member but his profile shows seasoned veteran.  

Strange.  Seems like a mixture of Seasoned Veterans and Members who should be Seasoned Veterans. hm

Another glitch probably.  Shame we can't drop the need for either - members,  seasoned vegetables - it's not a good way to do things.

And my mother was English, so I really was in nappies ... but are you sure you were posting back then?

Good spot. I think I may have earned the fastest custom title in boards history. Had it a while now.
