Title: Search function is buggy?
Post by: Lex on March 25, 2012, 05:48:59 pm

I've just noticed some different texts on Purify card in trainer and wanted to search entire forum for this card (by using "Purify" in search form). Search function has listed only some old posts from 2009-2010 but later I've found in 1.30 patch topic that Purify is going to be changed in next patch - I haven't got these posts while using search - why?

You have to choose "google" from the dropdown menu.

So what is "Entire forum" option for? What's the difference between this and "Google"?

Everything else besides google search is broken or something.

That was a different issue where the regular search option just flat out didn't work at all and told everyone they didn't have permission to perform a search of the forums.  This is a different issue where it seems only certain words, letters, etc. aren't triggering a proper forum search, though I suspect it's resolved the same way if it is a problem.

I have no idea why the new Purify topic won't appear.  I thought it was just cards in the Card Changes board that weren't appearing, but searching Shard of Patience gives it to me the way it should; Aflatoxin does not.  Even more bizarre is that Purify and Aflatoxin only yield one page of search results when I'm fairly certain that they've been mentioned in various threads far more times than listed.  I had reported a similar issue here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,36099.0.html) but it seems that problem isn't limited to just card codes based on this...

There's definitely something buggy about the search function, but now I haven't the slightest idea what the root of the problem could be.  With Scaredgirl MIA I don't see anyone getting a legitimate explanation for quite some time either.
