The "search" feature under the forums is no more.  How do you initiate a search on the site?

think i seen somewhere, that it's turned off due to overloading the servers or something of that nature..

Search is disabled right now as Douglas finishes the server move. It will return.

Douglas

It may be a couple weeks before Search returns as Eddie indicated. We need to be able to test the true power of the servers for tomorrow night and Saturday. Right now, the search system we use (called Sphinx) is not playing nicely and locks up all 5 of the web servers while the requests are processed, which basically crashes everything, so we're working on troubleshooting in a development area, rather than on the live production servers.

Have no worries, it WILL come back. :)

Douglas,
Any update on the search function return date?

Douglas

It's deprioritized right now. Will return after CFB season is over.

Thank you, I check daily for the search function to return. I appreciate your contribution to the message board!

Does "cfb" stand for college or conference?  No, I'm not being sarcastic.

We are going to use a different resource for search.  Not activated now

As a short term workaround, you might try this.  You can search for a specific term within one website.  Might be handy enough to help you find something on FF..

I tried searching for Uncle Ivan on FF and found several - shall we say interesting - threads worth reading.
