Search function is gone?

I can’t find the search function.

and have found this message when looking for posts through profile stats:

We are aware that searching is down and are working to get it back up and running. The message is incorrect and searching will be back up and running around noon EDT today, June 3, 2011. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Problem continuing…
Looking forward to being able to use search again- THANKS

Lol – that would be a long time to rebuild a search index. :slight_smile:

Still down. Bummer - but we can Google search with Google, saying site:collegeconfidential.com
Still getting

intparent: my thoughts exactly…

still down…glad it’s not me; I literally logged off and on three times

Mine was up again from yesterday noon till now, but now off again- wonder what is happening!

“Wednesday, January 10” - that means 2018!

both the “search” and “new posts” are gone… hope they willbe back soon

It has been days that the search has not been working in one way or another. Now, no search, no new posts, no latest posts, and no participated posts.

It’s no fun “playing” with cc now… need toys back.

Thanks all for beating me to my question about this. Now I don’t need to ask :smiley:

Wow… I must be addicted… I too logged off/on again about 763 times… LOLOL I thought it was me or my computer… thougt I was doing something wrong! My NEW POSTS tab went POOF last night… I miss it so… LOL wow. I need to get a life…

Wouldn’t it have been nice if someone(a tech person @ CC) had posted a message about the issues? As not to drive us all crazy? I’m just saying…

Haha I though of bumping this, but with no “new posts” and no “recent posts” and no “latest posts” functions working, it would not matter…

Usually someone does post something. There are lots of folks wondering what the heck is wrong with their computer…

Dont they send out a mass email to all the members? Email alerts would be such a nice feature. I am an hour away from home, sitting in Starbucks since 1:30p and was looking forward to my daily(ok, hourly) CC fix… thank God my daughter is done with her volunteering @ 6p.

I’m with the CC tech team and sincere apologies for the instability in the search functionality. Search as well as latest post, etc have been re-enabled and we are investigating the cause of this latest outage.

Thanks to everyone for your patience.

Yay, its back!!. Thanks so much.

Is there a way to search one’s own postings/threads? Some forum software has a mechanism for that.

Edit: Never mind, I found it :slight_smile: Click your username and a drop-down menu appears. Click “Find More Posts By [your username]”.

Search is down again…

Search is down again…

Just bumping as you previously asked for heads up when it’s down.

Thank you all for your feedback and your patience. I will be performing maintenance on the search feature this Sunday, June 12, 2011 at 5am EDT to restore search to a stable state. This will take about 2 hours during which search will be down but the site will remain up and running. If one of the moderators feels it is wise to make this announcement sticky or featured, please feel free to do so. Thanks.
