Can't search the forums

Featured Replies

After doing a clean install of win 10 I can't search the forums even when signed in?

Hi. I can't search the forums either - but it's slightly different. I sign in and then try to use the search facility in the top right-hand corner. This always worked but the past week or two, I simply get returned to that forums top page. Whether I search for a nonsense word or something likely such as 'engine', the result is the same - the forum I am in simply reloads. No search is attempted it seems.

 

Same in Firefox, IE and Chrome..... Tried emptying the cache, but still no joy. What went wrong?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

The topic just below yours provides information on how to use our search feature until we can find the code to fix this issue.  Just click on the cog next to the search button and go to advanced search.  It works.

Hi why is it that searching the forums no longer works? This has been going on for far to long.

I guess they (working unpaid on our behalf) are still looking for the solution... Use the workaround that Jim suggested till then.
