Forum search function is broken

Back to Site Feedback

The forum search functionality appears to be broken, which makes it difficult to find threads relating to whatever topic you want to discuss.


It may be worth fixing this sooner rather than later to prevent a bunch of duplicate threads clogging up the forums.


Thanks!

search seems to be fine (:

@Def3ct
You're right, the search function located at the top of the Forums page (yellow circle) appears to be working fine - I was referring to the search function at the top right corner of the screen in the header (red circle) as no matter what you type in that search box, no content found within the forums is listed.
As a test, I typed "Search", which should cause this thread to show up in the forum tab's results, but it doesn't.

@Tobiage The red circle is for searching for users. What are you trying to find when searching with it?

@Very Scary Fairy✨I tried to search for content in the forums through that search bar, but realized no matter what you type, the results returned in the "forums" category always return "0".

Meanwhile, the categories "users", "interests", "blog posts", "groups", and "layouts", return results and function properly - see the below screenshot for proof.

@Tobiage Okay that’s much more specific, thank you for the explanation. The search bar within Forums works though, so I guess that one will be your friend for now.

@Tobiage Oh, huh! You're right! I'll admit I was also confused cuz I tend to forget there's a search bar even up there at all, but I just tested it as well and you are totally on the dot. No forums returned there, but everything else is fine! Very strange!
