The archive search doesn't let you search for threads without putting a search term now. I can't search for all threads by a username anymore. Is this going to be permanent?

SaintGeorge · 23/05/2006 16:17

Don't know - the wording of the page would make it seem so.

tech · 23/05/2006 16:57

Hello,
We are running archive search at slightly reduced capacity at present. The full archive search will be back next week. I don't see why we shouldn't allow search by user name I guess.

SaintGeorge · 23/05/2006 17:01

tech - whatever I put in it is still coming back as 0 results.

tech · 23/05/2006 17:21

I just put single word "james" in the text to search box and left the others empty. It came back with 477 results. What are you trying to find?

Regards,
tech

SaintGeorge · 23/05/2006 17:26

I get same result.

Then again I get results now when I do the searches I tried earlier.

Go on, admit it - you pressed a button or something after I posted didn't you, huh?

no, but I can see if you do "messages since" you get nothing. I've taken that field off for now. We'll fix overnight. Cheers, Tech

Kelly1978 · 24/05/2006 08:30

thanks tech. Would be good if we can still have search by username, it is useful.
