Search function Fixed.
Is it just me, or does the search not appear to work? It keeps saying "no posts meet your criteria" etc, even though I know that what i'm looking for exists

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing.
This site needs to advertise WAY MORE. I Forgot the URL for about 2 years, and intense searching took that long to refind it.

It all depends on what you are searching for and what phrases you enter. Certain words have been programmed in as stopwords to stop bots

You are correct. It's broken.
We're rebuilding the index but it takes time. Should be back to normal soon.

OK about 4/5 times when I post, it just hangs and goes off to la la land. I think you need to optimize your forum database. It's pretty easy.

OK, you want to talk about hot girls? Who else but Vicki would so casually toss off a line about optimizing your database and say it's pretty easy? You're so cool you're hot, Vicki.
