Forum Search Problems

[Phoenix Audubon]

Hey, y'all.

Lately, I haven't been having much luck being able to search the CAG forums for information. If I type in something--in my case "halo 3 xbox 360"--in either the field that pops up when I click "Search" on the top menu bar, or on the Advanced Search page, when I click "Go", there's a pause, and then it goes to a white screen that says "Fatal Error", with some other garbage.

I don't think the Search likes big queries--I also tried searching for "dvi vga connection" (or something like that), and it also errored out. However, "dvi vga hdmi" did produce results.

Was anyone aware of this?

CAG's search engine is a steaming pile of shit.

It also filters out most words three letters long or shorter.

The Search function on CAG is completely broken and a disgrace. You're better off using Google.

Yep. I was just gunna report this.

Echo Moxio and Liquid2's comments. Search has been ed for a long time and no one seems to care.

Banging your head repeatedly against a wall works much better than the CAG search.

Of course, yelling at newbies for remaking old threads because they didn't use the search funtion is totally still fine.

Yeah - funny how that works, hm?
