search problems

Doesn't work for me either. This new software is awful and not user friendly at all. Wish there was some way to get back to the old format. The colors look good, but unfortunately that is not soothing enough when you have a problem.

Neither for me... the forum is almost useless without search.

The email notification for subscribed threads isn't working for me. It was OK when MBshop came online briefly earlier this week. When it came back the second time, no dice.

Perhaps they're still tweaking it. Although I do like it for the most part, just takes some getting used to.

Did a search with "mercedes". The following error message has been returned, as it always did whenever I used search: "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/search.php” because it could not load any data from this location."
I use OSX.3.5 with latest Safari 1.2.3 (v125.9), however I get similar error messages with Explorer 5.2 for Mac or Mozilla 1.7.
Regards, Bruno

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the search still does not work for me. I tried all the various suggestions from the above posts and still get the error page. I am at home now and will try it at work when I get there.

Thanks again for your efforts,
Tom

You are correct.
It looks like the index rebuild failed somewhere after post# 450,000. There are over 600,000 posts that have to be indexed. It takes about 8 hours for the re-index. I'll try picking up where it stopped and see if that fixes it.

Unhappy Problem with Search function - still

We are still experiencing intermittent problems with the search function. We're working on it.

In the mean time, if your search fails, try reordering the words in the search.
For some weird reason if you search for "Mercedes E430" the search fails. If you search for "E430 Mercedes" the search is successful. Go figure!
