The Search Thread tool does not seem to be functioning for me. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hi there,

What issues are you having, specifically. Let us know with browser version/device.

When using Safari v.10 full version (not iOS), no matter what search term I enter on any given thread using the Search Thread tool, the response is always the same: "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." This problem just started a few days ago.

I gave it a try and everything works fine ( for me)

Mac/Safari 10.1.2

Example

Thread about cleaning:

https://forum.saxontheweb.net/showthread.php?48929-Cleaning-a-rubber-mouthpiece

search for the word “ vinegar “

https://forum.saxontheweb.net/search.php?searchid=31247434

search for the word “ rubber”


https://forum.saxontheweb.net/search.php?searchid=31247978


search for the word “ calcium”


https://forum.saxontheweb.net/search.php?searchid=31248050

vinegar, rubber, and calcium =

"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

as usual I have an incredible luck with these things, the links above show I can search that thread without any problems for the words that I could easily find and click couldn’t/


Those are results generated by this site not external google links by the way!



nearly anything else is giving me problems these days (printer just refuses to print today for no reason ... it prints any test and calibration but no documents...) but not the search functions, that one works without an hitch

search term “ everything works” for this thread :bluewink:

( works even here in the thread about the thread search not working!) :twisted: look it up! (follow the links please)

Could this be a regional thing? In other words that people in the US can’t search while people in the EU can?

I have not had any problems with the search function, and could find all the terms used by Milandro above, and I am in the U.S. Hey Zoot, can you give an example of a search term that you have tried and failed on?

 

[mijderf]

I'm now sitting back and waiting for someone to ask if you have used the search function to check out this issue!

LOL, well I went ahead and did that search. But seriously, maybe there is a clue in one of the responses in the thread that can help you out.

 

[ZootTheSim]

Terms I've tried to search include "alto," "mouthpiece," "jazz"--text strings that are guaranteed to be in the threads I'm trying to search. The problem seems limited to the desktop version of Safari, at least. Still, it's annoying.

 

[milandro]

I have the desktop version of Safari 10.1.2

running on a desktop Mac. I do also have mobile devices but I hate using them.

The problem is not SAFARI because that’s what I am running.

Please in which threads did you look for those terms I’ll run them as well.

I am trying them on this thread

https://forum.saxontheweb.net/showthread.php?95098-advantage-disadvantage-of-metal-mouthpiece


alto

mouthpiece

Jazz returns nothing

Thanks, milandro. Zoot, click - have you guys cleared your cache/cookies and refreshed your pages? Give that a try and let us know.


Cheers,
Nate

I got about $20 in cache on me. My wife baked double chocolate cookies, and I just bought a new ream of copy paper. None of that seems to make any difference.

 

[ZootTheSim]

Clearing the browser cache seemed to do the trick for me, thanks VSadmin. click, from the Safari menu, select Develop > Empty Caches. Just make sure you pay your bills first.

Thank you for your kind thoughts.

 

[VSadmin]

Glad to hear that clearing the cache and cookies helped Zoot! Happy searching!

Cheers,

Erik
