Oh for god sakes. This server can't even hold people searching? Man, fail server is fail.
No, it can handle people searching just fine. It can't handle people exploiting bugs in phpBB's shitty search function to intentionally cause server lag.
Well, phpBB needs to get their **** together. I like using the search function so I can actually FIND something on the forums without going to every topic.

If you don't know already, we are soon to be ditching phpBB entirely for IPB, which is much better, very soon.
You may have noticed some recent short down time. To try to prevent it from happening again, I've disabled search until citricsquid is again available.
I'm getting a little annoyed by the on again off again nature of search function...
Please stop jerking the collective chain of forum searchers with the hope of a search function other than google.
Trying to find anything at MCF past the first page of a section is becoming deeply frustrating.
I joined group searchers, now it's broken again...
Pardon my rage, but is this search thing ever going to stay put around here?
I really hope the search function still works the same way once this place updates to IPB. Using google is great as long as you only want to find "A" thread relating to your topic, but it's HORRIBLE at finding THE specific thread you're looking for.
you should probably get rid of the searchers group though, or at lest disable it or update its description to explain that it no longer lets you search, otherwise people are going to continue being even more confused.

When is soon? A mod posted on 4/7 that we were going to IPB in a week...4/13 has passed.
Does it really take a month to make a forum? I can have one operational thats exactly like this one with all the bells and whistles in a day or two...and if I have FTP access, I can cut that time down to a few hours at the most.

For a forum of this size, I'm not surprised that it's taking some time.
Admittedly it's running a bit longer than even I would expect. But I've been assured that Curse knows what they're doing.
EDIT: I'm not in searcher group, by the way. Search was originally made for use for moderators only but citric intentionally created that semi-hidden group to search.
Hey people, i just noticed that the search is down, again.
i checked the accounments, nothing. yes, i am in the 'searcher' group.
anybody else noticed?
It's not just me then. It happened to me once before, but that was just a screw up on my end, so i didn't want to put up a thread about it just in case... Looks like they did something about it now that everyone knows about it

It is in the Trash section now, only moderators can view that section.
Also...
"HEY GUYS I TREID SEARCHING IT DIDN"T WORK HELP"
"This has already been posted, use sea---oh right, damn it"
"...hey guys search isn't working!"

If that were true, we'd have a working search function.
