Why does it never work? I have constantly tried to use it, yet there is always some problem. Can any one explain how to use it or if it just does not work?

They work for me.

An iPod, usually. But they also work on my computer.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Yeah, forum search doesnt work for me

I think it's probably JavaScript, but it might be something else.

The reason I think that is that it didn't work with JavaScript turned off.

That doesn't make sense because my computer has the ability to play JavaScript.

Could the fact I am runing Firefox be a problem? Also, should I put this into the problems/bugs forum?

The problem's not on our end, it's a site bug.

I feel like you guys think that Javascript is something it isn't. Maybe because cool said "play Javascript". A lot of people confuse Java applications with Javascript. Javascript isn't a program, its a programming language. Either way, though, I'm pretty sure we all have javascript enabled as there's a lot of javascript on this site, and there'd be more bug reports from anyone that didn't have it.

I think its actually the database he has, and how he wrote the script to analyze it. Because, for me at least, the search technically "works" but just doesn't come up with actually relevant posts to what you searched for.

If this is such a common problem, why has no one brought it up before?

I'm pretty sure that someone has.

let me just do a forum search to see if someone has mentioned it.... oh wait. (tee hee)

Yeah, I think it happened when he upgraded to .net.

If this is such a problem Why has no one brought it to the Bugs and problems Main Topic?

How often do those get fixed? :P

Good point. :)

I'm pretty sure I saw this somewhere in bugs once. :P
