I can't search. Database error.
Then I have to stare at a sticky in every forum requesting me to search...


Anyone else having problems?

edit: Seems I can search with a single word.

Yea, 99% of the time search doesn't work for me as well, and they still tell everyone to do search first before posting, and if you don't, some people get mad at you and at you for not doing search first. Ummm... yea, if the damn search will work the first place, than MAYBE I will use search first before I post.

search is sporadic for me as well.
i'll probably rebuild the search database this weekend. since it's so intensive it shoudn't really be attempted while there are hundreds of people browsing the boards.

oh, and i'll probably lower the search limit to 2 characters.

DH:

Did everything get rebuilt this weekend? Post database? Search database? Search character limit? New status titles (if so, what are they?!?)....

Just reproduced it (3:52 p.m. CST). I was searching the Software forum for "Garageband external drive" (no quotes).
