I can see the Search button and enter a search parm, but I don't have permission to actually run a search.

John...

Here's what I just did:

Attempted to Log Off FlyerTalk and got:

I clicked there to attempt a second log off and that attempt was successful and it said all cookies cleared.

I went to the link:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/mycookies.php

...and it found five cookies still remaining. I deleted all of them.

Then I returned to the main FlyerTalk page and logged-in again, and still no Search feature showing on any of my pages.

John...Edited to add that I just noticed Tim's announcement that Search has been turned off again, so most of the above is immaterial, I guess. Since I was away most of the afternoon I never had a chance to see if whatever you did fixed it for me, even if just temporarily before it was turned off systemwide again.

Yes, search is turned off again for a few months this time, it seems to be saying? :(

Search Downtime

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The search is down again for the time being. We will have the search down until there is a new PHP release that fixes the problems with the current version or a better solution is found. Thank you for understanding this.

Man...a few months for the php release??!?! I live for the New Posts button. And I can't find the Google search anymore.

It should not be that long.

Could you re-post the Google work-around link again?

Google search
 

This one works for me:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...gle+workaround


In the google search text box, enter "site:www.flyertalk.com keywords"

replace the keywords w/ your keywords..

The Google thing is all but useless for 99% of searches. Even this far more useful one:

http://www.google.com/search?sitesea...%3CKeywords%3E

A. It takes Google many days to spider FT anyway

B. It does not allow you to search in a specific Forum or by member using a word, nor a time period you want.

Type the word "Madrid" or "Upgrade" or "train" or "ozstamps" or "Rudi" into google and you'll get 10,000 matches etc.
