Problem with search engine
I have been unable to use the search engine much of the time for the past few weeks. I've noticed that the Hilton forum seems to be the biggest problem. The box drops down, but nothing happens after I submit my search. This happens in both IE and Mozilla. Any suggestions?

Just noticed a snafu today where when I go to use the advanced search option, it keeps asking me to sign in, even though I'm already signed in otherwise I wouldn't be able to click the search button. @:-)
Dunno what that's about.

I suspect that it was turned off this morning as the repair utilities are being run.

I had the same problem today using advanced search (asking me to re-log in, etc.) so there seems to be something the servers are fretting about. I do know we had well above average traffic on FT this morning but noticed the problem was from several days ago. I asked the tech guys where they are on determining what this problem is from. Thanks for the input.

The recent occurrences of this issue had to do with the problems described in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=488009 We are working on this problem now...

Certain types of searches seem to be skipping some posts too.
Like "Finding more posts by GUWonder".

Is there somewhere we can go to on this site that will tell us of current operation issues.
I happened to see someone mention that "search" was down. I spent a lot of time today trying to search over and over again to see if it would work.
I know that stuff happens but it would be good to know if it was a user error versus something going on with the system.

Search is missing posts
Specific example.
In BA forum (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=446), do a Search this Forum for MFU shareholder, and it should return this post in the list (title: "Upgrade" an existing booking with BA miles (=), last post to this thread was approx. 31 minutes ago so it should be high up in the list) but it does not appear (both keywords appear under list item #3 in the first post).

I've continually been having problems with the search forums tool. When I search it claims "You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page." Is this due to being a new user? Or does it relate to the problems with the search engine described in this thread?

'Search' seems broken to me. Hasn't worked in at least a few days and I've tried multiple computers. Tells me I'm not logged in when, in fact, I am.
