Still happening.
I'm at home, on laptop, first forum search of the day "Try again in 16 seconds".
Tried again after a lot more than 16 secs - same thing.
And again.0 -
Anybody tried searching Martin's blogs?
Numerous huge pointless and identical pictures had been added to the search results.
Just imagine such pictures added to the results of any search engine! IMO it wold be a suicide for google.
I wonder whose crazy idea it was. MSE towers obsession with making pointless changes from good to worse instead or rectifying the faults is getting untolerable0 -
I was getting more failures than successes with search but since I've been using the new look forum version I haven't had any problems at all (yet).0

Still happening, still no progress.0

I'm getting this problem too (Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit edition, Chrome 42.0.2311.135 m): I don't use the search function that often, but it does this every time I use it.
However, it usually gives me results once it does work.0 -
I haven't had the wait 15/16 second problem at all since switching to the new version MSE.
However I have had many false negatives and have found that it often seems to be searching the whole Forum even though I have selected "This Board".0 -

We're going to close this thread so we can separate the issues between old and new forum design. If you do find it's still happening for you on the new Forum design could you start a new thread please?
