Hello.

We know that Advanced Search is currently up the creek not functioning at its optimum level, and the Techs are busy trying to fix it.

But we need your help in making sure we've got a handle on all the things that don't work with it right now.

Many of you have already yelled about told us what's not working for you and we think this is where we're at:

  1. Choose Topics ain't working at all.
  1. If you search using Classic, every individual post in each thread comes up separately under its thread title, rather than being grouped together.
  1. If you're using Classic, you can't click through to the individual posts that your search has brought up. You get taken to the OP instead.
  1. Some people are getting taken to the Talk Topic page when they click on a thread they've searched for.

Is there anything we've missed?

Yes, Juillet, the button on the top right is Basic Search - and yes, it's knackered too.

Will note your probs with 'Add message' but this is really a thread about Advanced Search

Are you in Classic, BertieBotts or MN New?

HelenMumsnet · 24/11/2009 16:45

Aha, BertieBotts - that's why it's working for you.

Thanks to all the rest of you - it may take us a while to get it all fixed but we are on it.

Hello thumbwitch, Solo, JustAnotherManicMummy and MrCSWS: yes, we do know about Threads I'm On - promise! And we are working on fixing that too.

And Doodlez: Yes, there is more than one Tech, though not often all in the Shed at once.

There is NikitaTech, who does scary things with Java; BigTech, who messed up search released a new code and then ran off to Brazil decided to go on holiday; YetMoreTech, who types very loudly and at supersonic speed on his keyboard, and of course the original Tech, who has a kind of Transcontinental Shed in the States.

Thanks for all your feedback.

The Techs are hard at it but it does seem to be a bit of a complicated fix - well, that's the story they're spinning

Hope we can bring you some good Search news soon.

Morning all.

Choose Topics should be working now.

(We're still working on the other bits...)
