Search broken?

[n00blet]

Recently I've noticed that the search feature doesn't seem to be working very well. As an example, I was trying to find this story: http://www.musclegrowth.org/forum/sh...ad.php?t=19757

A normal search for Leonard's School Buddy finds nothing. Even advanced search title only using various combinations of "leonard's", "school buddy" etc returns nothing. It's as if it's invisible to search.

Is this because of the age of the thread, or is there maybe something wrong with the search indexing? I have noticed it a few times recently but can't remember any specific examples other than this.

I tested a search for "Leonard's School Buddy" and it works fine and returns the thread you referenced. Just be sure you are on the main home page or else your search may be limited only to the sub-forum you're browsing.

When I do a search for "Leonard's School Buddy" from the homepage, or within the Stories forum, all I get is this post, and a post by zangetsu in "Searching for a story?" which is someone with the same problem as me. The actual story doesn't show.

I am glad I am not the only one nooblet! This problem has been occurring with me for the last month. Can someone contact FleXodus about this?

Well fleXodus replied to the original post so he's at least aware there might be a problem, even if he couldn't see it himself. Hopefully he reads the replies.

Well whatever the problem was, it seems to be fixed now Thanks

I think it's still broken, because I was looking for this story through a keyword search, and I didn't get any results. Once I found it manually, I pasted the title into the regular search bar on the front page and stories board, and I also did an advanced search, and it still didn't bring up any results.
