Search not working for me?

[DinosaurSchool]

I've tried to search a couple of things on my phone today (mobile site not app) and kept getting 0 results. So I thought I'd try on my laptop - still 0 results even when I checked by searching for mentions of for e.g. "Christmas" today

Anyone else?

Oh that's odd. Hang on, we'll see if it's working for us this end.

Yep, seems OK this end.

Is it returning 0 results whatever you do? Or only if, say, you search by nickname or by date?

Well I've just tried searching Christmas from yesterday and today. It returned 221 results but all were from yesterday and none from today? And I searched for a poster who I know has posted on a thread today but it hasn't come up? (even though that same poster's posts do come up from earlier in the week).

OK, and if you just do a normal unrestricted search - so just for a keyword, with no poster or date restrictions - do you get results that look right?

Hmm, that's tricky as if I search for a keyword without any other criteria I get 500+f responses but I can't easily tell if its including everything.

Although, I've just searched a two word phrase from my post above ("221 results") and there are 21 results but they don't include mine from today.

If anything it seems that it's not searching today properly. Sorry for slow response, my laptop is agonisingly slow I'm afraid.

OK, that's really helpful.

We'll flag this up to the Tech team for you.

Thanks. Nice name change too. I need to think of something...

Ah 'tis working now. If you did something marvellous thank you! If not I apologise for what was quite clearly my incompetence.

No I think Tech did a fix in the wee hours, bless him.

So hurrah!
