Search Problem

For some reason the Search option in the Forum menu bar never works for me.

For instance, I take a random Subject from the Recent Forum Activity, like, “Amazon App Rejected” and do a search for it. I’ve tried it with and without quotes. And with all and partial words.

I’d expect this being the most recent post to include these words, it would appear at the top of the list. No-- not even a single hit. I must be doing something wrong. On the Results page, I’ve tried searching in just the Forum and with the Everything option. Still no hits. [import]uid: 74530 topic_id: 34561 reply_id: 334561[/import]

Doing a search right now, I get 34 hits for the term you use, but I will say that I only just noticed that all of the hits are for the site or blog. I don’t think the forum is being indexed.

(Still, searching via google works)

Edit: If you search, then you’ll get the advanced search page. From there you can set it to search “forums”, but all the results use the old website and on a couple of attempts I was seeing old stuff (april-june). So maybe it’s just only searching the anscamobile stuff? [import]uid: 41884 topic_id: 34561 reply_id: 137404[/import]

I made a simple HTML search widget on my website for the forums, API docs and blog.

I believe the corona guys are in the process of implementing a new forum, maybe that’ll have a better search? [import]uid: 62706 topic_id: 34561 reply_id: 137408[/import]

Thanks guys! Glad to know it’s not me.

We recognize that our search isn’t as good as it should be and we are working on solving it. But for now I recommend using Google. Just put in Corona SDK and the rest of your search term and it will do a good job of finding what you want. [import]uid: 199310 topic_id: 34561 reply_id: 137439[/import]
