Canonfire! Forums-viewtopic-Broken search function?

Thu Dec 27, 2018 11:49 am

Forum search hasn't worked for me for a long time. Can't view old posts on my profile. Forum search link still broken and has to be changed manually.

Usual error is: "Could not delete old search id sessions" "debug mode" and then a wall of nonsense.

Posting this here instead of opening a second topic.

Having a similar problem: Search function works, but only the first page of results displays. If I click on any of the pages beyond the first, I get:

"No topics or posts met your search criteria"

Am I having a case of "teh stupid", or this just, well, broken? Embarassed

I spoke to Gary about this last week. Something happened back in 2013 and it still has not recovered. When searching you will find everything posted prior to April 2013, but nothing after that date.

Anyway, that is what is am noticing.

Sounds like the search engine index process stopped running, perhaps?

I get something quite weird.

If I search on Keoland, I get all the Articles from 2001 up to 2020.

If I search on Longetalos, I only get the Articles I submitted from 2001 to 2013.

If I search on Omnipotent, I get all my OV view articles from 2001 to 2020.

So really, I do not know what is going on.

On the plus side though, the Zavoda index is improving in the pop-up on the Search engine.

One of the founders of our hobby and one of the most unsung contributors to Dungeons & Dragons, Len Lakofka has passed away at the age of 76. Along with the many adventures, classes, spells, and rules he created, Len was also father of the Suel in Greyhawk, designer of their gods, and namesake of the Lendore Isles. The value of his work goes without saying, but his presence will be sorely missed. The adventures of Leomund go on.
