Michael, thanks for keeping at this http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gifwhile you deal with the survey simultaneously http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif. Search was working fine a few days ago, it was quick and seemed thorough, so you certainly can get it working again. Good luck to all of you struggling with it!

Is there an update on the search function? I still getting "document contains no data." Is that what I should be getting at this this juncture?

Never had a problem with search(used Netscape 4.5 and IE5).

I searched on an exact name a few minutes ago and had no problems.

Seems to be hit or miss. If I search on anything other than a single word withing a single forum it does not work. I have IE5 on Windows98 platform.

I just searched for the word "Wilde" in OMNI and the search did not return any match (0 matches returned). Then I further narrowed it down with the author Rudi, again no match returned. It should have returned: http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/Foru...ML/000156.html

Here's the problem I'm having with search: When I use the default that searches "All Forums" I just get back a blank page. But if I specify a particular forum (say "United"), it works fine. But this doesn't help much if you don't already know where to look.

I'm still getting "document contains no data" logging on from 3 different systems????????????? http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Punki, try re-loading your Framisaxle.

I'm still getting it. The symptom is the same as PremEx's: it works fine if you tell it which forum to search, but not if you search all forums (fora?). As distinct from Baze, it didn't matter if I searched for a single word or multiple words.

It's really sending nothing back. I checked the HTML source of the reply. It was empty. It's not like it's returning something that browsers display as a blank page.

Good luck tracking this one down!

This is to let you know that we beleive we have finally overcome the search difficulties and have turned this function back on.

We would like you to test the search engine and let us know if it works for you.

Note: You will notice a little longer wait for the results to return to you but you should be able to find what you're looking for.
Thank you for your patience.

Search for Wilde in OMNI still does not return Rudi's article, but returns two other articles which contain 'wilder' and 'wilderness'.

Any possibility of wildcard matches? Or case sensitive matches, or string matches?

9/1, 7:40 MDT: Search on a user-id is not working. I tried to find posts from user MJW; no luck.

9/1 10:20pm EDT

Did a search by name (ranles) for past 10 days. Took a while but I got 5 postings going back to 8/22.

Well we could all reload our Framisaxles, couldn't we Mark, my friend? Baaahh, baaaahh, baaahhh. http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
