Search broken?

[jamieboy]

As above, been trying it since about 8:30. I sometimes get an 'oops', sometimes it just times out.

[jamieboy]

Working now...

[10 Pence Short]

It's been broken since forever.

[Mr Will]

The search was created when this was still a TVR site. That tells you all you need to know...

[jamieboy]

Timing out again this morning.

[Shinobi]

Still doing it.

Oi!

[Poledriver]

Wouldn't it be a good idea to get some new 'sniffer' hamsters now?

[Mr Will]

I'll have a prod around this afternoon and see if I can kick it back to life. watch this space.

[jamieboy]

Timing out for me again.

Is it working for you again now?

Nope. Two different machines, different searches, FF and IE, times out every time.

Just use google search to search PH

[Mr Will]

I'll try giving it a kick, bear with us.

In the interim (i.e whilst we are waiting for the complete overhaul of the search function), could you create a serach function to search 'thread title' only? (Should be quicker and more reliable, and a chap of your skills could knock something like that together in your tea break...)

It's working again (for the moment)

Great, but I was meaning, whilst we are waiting for the complete overhaul of the search function (something that has been on the 'to do' list for a number of years) could we have a thread title search?

[Dave^]

Bust again...

I know I can search PH via Google, but it's a bit of a pain in the ass...

Can we have a permanent Google Search within the PH Search page?

[RacingPete]

We are working on moving the search to make it better at the moment, but it seems to be having a few morning glitches at present.

We will add in both the searches (PH or Google) on the next update.
