GFY is almost useless w/o the SEARCH function
 

Has probably been discussed before ... but can't find the thread because search function is missing :(

Lensman, what the fuck can we do to get the fucking search back?

It is working... :Graucho

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:) There still is a search.

Live in the now!!.........

I am still getting "Sorry. The search function has been disabled by the administrator."

Maybe my country's IP has been blocked for searching? (I am NOT from Russia though)

oh the shark bites.... with such teeth yeah!

:glugglug

There's a new search.

www.gofuckyourself.com/search/newsearch.php

It is not :helpme

I agree. GFY is a waste of time without search.
It hasnt worked in months

I am a good girl, please gimme my search back :Oh crap

Thank you so much :) :)

Am I elite now? :Graucho

Bet ya checked again though...


:winkwink:

I've tried the newsearch a few times... it's always just hung for me :(

404...

My experience with web message boards is that not many people use search. Every once in while a newbie would post a question that's been answered previously umpteen times, and get admonished to use the board's search feature.

Also, there are information that goes out of date. What's valid last year or two years ago (e.g. TGP-related info) may not be as valid today.

Same for me ... the form shows up but when I search for my own postings it hangs and never returns a result :(

Lensman could easily delete all postings older than - lets say - 6 months. But it's a waste of everybody's time to ask the same questions again & again.

And yes, I did use the search function intensively.

I waited and waited and waited and then it worked!!!!!

Idea, link the word Search to the new search tool!

Hackers will soon find and destroy the new search if they are hell bent on causing pain.

I've been book-marking threads of import so I can get to them when needed.

Searching over 4 million posts is a load on the server I suspect. PHP may not be the language of choice for security and speed. Guess lens could hire google to help? Bet that would be a bill.

For techie type questions, we need more than 6 months IMO.

Deleting old stuff doesnt make sense, but it could be placed behind a paid membership ( f.e threads older than 3 months ).

BTW the new search stopped updating three days ago.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

97.5% of my ideas are good

indeed :Graucho

thread #34067476

just drop a PM to the mods/admins when you have a problem...

it is frustrating when you need it but I think its up now

i dropped you one but never got a response :(

no search function is gay.
does this have anything to do with bandwith consumption???

really, wow, i'll PM lensman and get this straightened out...
