Search Functionality

[broadstairsbob]

Can anyone confirm whether there is a problem with the search functionality?

For example if I search on words 'core' and 'drill' - searching all items - 595 returned some of which do not contain 'core' or do not contain 'drill'.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong ?...

Thanks in advance

No, I'm afraid you're quite right, there is a problem with the search function at the moment, we are in the process of sorting it.

This is still a problem. The search functionality is very important to me as I find it often helps me find solutions to my problems.

Not being able to search for all items makes it very very very difficult.

I hope this will be fixed soon!

Any news on this one Admin?

I was just wondering the same thing, having found that it's still broken....

To be pedantic, 'broken' doesn't quite capture it for me.

My old spectacles are broken, whereas the search function is utterly f***ed.

It's still flaky, but if you put

+core +drill

in, it does seem to find some right things.

Not sure those option buttons do anything though, and if you put 3 terms in, it doesn't work.

The options work for me, and so does putting in three terms.

Try this:

When will it be fixed?

I can't hold my breath much longer!
