Search is working fine from everything I can see now. There were some heavy searches being run at the time slowing the search server down for everyone.

I have been unable to do any searches today. Trying to search the AA forum and getting:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/site/flyertalk.com/www/forum/search.php on line 980

Is there a known problem?

Thanks.

Search by user is not finding all posts. I tried a couple of users and didn't get any recent results. I tried searching all my posts for the last 3 months, and only two showed up. It looks like maybe recent posts are not being displayed.

djk7: I just did a search for all posts by you and have found alot of them including this one and one newer posted this morning... are you sure that you are using the advanced search and entering the username in the username field rather than in the search field?

KimmyAA: This error can happen when a search term is too broad and the script takes too long to try and build a results page, if you get this error the best way to alleviate it to give more specific search terms or narrow down your search to a particular forum or forums.

Sorry about that, it seems my search preferences were to only show threads with at least 40 posts. I have saved my settings with a more reasonable number, and hopefully won't run into that again.
