Search category function? Working properly for everyone?
Hail NA!
I'm at a loss on this one. For some time now I've been unable to use the search category function on the NA website. Any search culminates with a blank display and the following in the address bar "http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/searchresults.cfm." I'm using the same browsers and machines I always have so I'm curious to see if anyone else has been having a similar issue. Thoughts? Cheers!

I was having issues with it too. it would just return one thread with all the replies, and when you tried to see the next topic, the search would say no more matching titles.
Ok, I was able to reproduce this, and I'll have it fixed later today I hope.
Anyone else have issues? Please be very specific if you can on what's not working. Saying "doesn't work for me" isn't enough info for me to troubleshoot, thanks!
The Search Forum on the left upper corner is working for me. The problem is the search category function on the right upper corner. If I use it there is only a with screen and nothings happens.
Indeed Splash, this is the same issue I've been encountering. I'm relieved to find that others are finding this as well so I can give up on any further attempts at fiddling with my browser! XD I'll try the search forum function and see how that works out.
My thanks for taking a look at this Dain, it's much appreciated! Cheers!

On another note, I've fixed the category search (that wasn't going beyond page 1).
Do you still have that problem? For me the search category still isn't working.
Maybe there's no results? Search the category for "bumbed" and you'll get this thread, no?
Tell me what you are searching for so I can try to reproduce it. From what I can tell, it's working just fine.

The 'Search Forum' box in the forum window was changed to only search thread titles by default, so maybe that's their issue.
For example, if I scroll up and type bumbed it gives me no results, but if I type teefury, the 3 threads with the word 'Teefury' in the title show up as results.

Right, but the 'search forum' box isn't the Category search they're talking about. Title search as the default is a recent change. We did this because it seemed more intuitive to search by title, since most searches are searches looking for a specific thread, not thread post.
Never seen a site default to only searching thread titles... Interesting choice. I would think that it might create the illusion that there is less content on the site than there actually is to newbies using the search, but perhaps I put too little faith in the intelligence of noobs.
Since this is causing so much trouble, I've reverted it back to the previous setting that will search title and messages.

(clicking this link DOES NOT get to where I get to during searches...never scene this page before)
which is just a blank screen. I tried searching for "Contra" in the BS&T forum...I know it is in the title of multiple threads....also tried searching for my name, Benihana, in other threads and always got the same thing.
I am using Firefox...
tried clearing my cookies and cache and all...interesting...
I am not worried about it...it will fix itself eventually...who knows what I have and have not done to my computer....
As long as the important features work I am happy...forums, collection tools, photos, chat...you know, the important stuff...
and they have different versions of window...XP, Vista, and 7. I am guessing it is my version of Firefox...
I cleared my cache...and it did not help...
Oh,
I searched for my name "Benihana" in this thread and it found everything...but when I go up to the "Site Suggestion and Feedback" area, the search just leaves me a blank screen like usual...
Totally weird...
