Issue with search

Options
Hi all, 
Is anyone else having issues with the search function? It was working fine yesterday, but now when I search for comps by date it's only showing 1 or 2 comps. TIA

    I also couldnt find a comp I had posted going through the search function
  • Yes, same here.  It's like it's ignoring my search filter to look through the previous 6 months and is only showing comps added in the last 24 hours.  :/

    I have been doing some checking and it seems that search is not currently finding ANY thread starter posts, posted before today, in Competitions Time, Game Over or I Win I Won I Won. It does sometimes, randomly, find Reply posts.
    I have made a post pointing this out on the continuing Search fault thread in Site Feedback. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6107690/new-search-fault-13-03-five-weeks-with-no-response#latest

    Oh for goodness sake!
    We had something very similar before, except it was newer posted that weren't showing - it was over a week before they fixed it...

    I'm having trouble too. I thought I was going a bit wappy.
    I'll be honest. I HATE this new look forum. I appreciate that the old one need a bit of a tweak here and there, but this is has made a pleasant hobby extremely frustrating. 
    I know it's a small band of volunteers working on it, but it seems that no one has taken onboard anything we said when they asked for opinions before the upgrade.
    In fact, can we even call this shambles an 'upgrade'?

    It's only the board guides who are volunteers. I'd have thought the techies are all on decent salaries given how much the site is worth now ;)
    I'd have though too that they'd be able to work at home or at safe distances, so not sure "Other priorities" quite cuts it as an excuse for inaction.
