search function

Post by KasperL »

The search function seems to be broken at the moment.

Choosing titles in the drop-down list in the search fields works (and most of the time, this is all one needs). However, if one tries to search for something else (by pressing the Go-button), it yields very weird results.

Now everything works again! Should the problem persist, I'll post some examples of search queries and wrong results.

Hmm... strange. As far as I know, we haven't touched that functionality in the past few days. Yes, please let us know if the problem resurfaces.

I searched for "Your Name" without the quotes and had the same result. I can select it in the drop down without issue, but if I click Go then it won't find it.

Apologies, I started a new thread but it looks like I'm reporting much the same thing

i'll concur, was trying to sate my terence hill craving, searched for a movie and found no results at all. Then i thought i was crazy for a moment, then realized i might be crazy, but the search isn't working either way.

We've done some work on the search functionality, and think it's working better now. If you find more obvious errors, please update here and let us know!
