I get
"Unable to access the search daemon"
when i try to search.
Any idea?

Just found out that searches currently are done through google using the site option i.e "site:forum.arcadecontrols.com"

Yes. The site search is annoyingly busted.

Yep, search is broken. There is one way to get around that though.

Just go to google and type in

Code: [Select]

site: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com

Follow that with what you are searching for. For example, say I want to look for posts with "iPac" in it, I'd type:

The results will be only from this site:

It's not the most accurate, but it does help some.

You can still use the search feature if you search in message subjects only.

Holy crap that works!
I'm on here regularly and had no idea.

Well ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- I didn't know that either. Could we get a giant sticky or a post on the landing page talking about that? I might actually be able to find stuff now.

Sounds like a reasonable idea.

What do the rest of you think?

I quoted JRobATL's post in the Bug Reports thread here since that thread seems like a logical place to gather related info and it's less prone to being pushed down the page and overlooked than a post here in Main.
- People are more likely to be in Main, but it's easier to find a Bug Reports thread.
