bietekwiet Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Hi all, Perhaps I do something wrong but recently when I do a search for something quite common it very often produces 0 results. What can be the reason ? See image (edit: apology for posting in the wrong forum section. It should have gone in " Community Development and Site Problem Reporting") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider xenonph Posted August 14, 2022 Content Provider Share Posted August 14, 2022 @bietekwiet The search function works for me with those exact words. You need to make sure you click dropdown arrow on right of where you type the text in and select "Everywhere". Now your search will work. I think it defaults to "Just this Topic" when you search without hitting the dropdown menu. So you are only searching the page you are on when you do this.

LynnInDenver Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I've found I need to start setting a category instead of letting it be an overall search. So yeah, something's broken somewhere in the parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave off "from" from that search and it will find what you are looking for. Sometimes more simple searches work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromancyr Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Is there a way to have the top search default to search everything? (or, even better, set it custom in your profile). I find myself accidentally searching and getting no results because it's searching the file/post I'm looking at vs the entire site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, not at this time. I've made the suggestion to the software developers so hopefully in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
