Try those. I have a problems where I am trying quote someone else thread. So it's doesn't have refreshed new posts. Can you please fixed the site for me. THanks for your in advance.

As of 2/23/09 10:03 pm CST, the IB Beta Search index is finally current, after numerous database errors and system slowness today.

I may have spoken too soon.

IB-Dick, when I visited your profile and tried to "Find all posts by IB-Dick", there are only 4 posts (2/17, 2/18, another 2 from today). However, according to the post count under your handle, there were supposed to be 28 posts. I don't know which server/database is not indexing correctly.

Maybe other FTers can try to look up your own posts and see if everything is current under your own "My Posts." As far as I can tell, "My Posts" only include 500 results on my part right now, which is far fewer than 1/5 of my total countable posts. The date range is between today and 10/2/08.

Today is a historic day: The [forever-Beta] IB Search has been removed and the classic vBulletin search is back (and working properly)!

'Advanced Search' is non functional if you enter a 'User Name'. It comes back -


Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search :

True. But if you just perform general search using key words, you'll get some results.

I thought IB had assured us over and over that the Classic Search couldn't be brought back. I also remember IB said the system couldn't be stable with Classic Search. See how stable FT had been with IB Beta Search.

No wonder I am seeing the search screen looks different but familiar. Indeed, it's the Classic Search.

Most of my posts are in the moderator section, which you can't see because you are not a moderator.

This is not the classic search, but it is very cool that it's that convincingly close. That was our intention.

Yes, truly annoying when you're trying to find threads started by a particular user.

OK. Let's call it IB Beta Search 2.0 then.

Just find another "problem" with the Beta Search 2.0 with OMNI posts. It simply doesn't index posts in OMNI and OMNI/PR without log-in. At least not now.

In Classic Search Era, OMNI was still a restricted forum. Search as guests/visitors wouldn't render results with posts in OMNI.

Now fastforward to around 10/20/08. OMNI opened up, OMNI/PR created, IB Beta Search 1.0 in place. Search results would include all posts across FT fora. Users didn't have to log in to view or search OMNI.

Today, IB Search Beta 2.0. Perform search under "My Posts." None of my posts in OMNI & /PR made in this evening showed up. Not sure if the index stopped working after 2/23/09 10:30 pm CST or it's because Beta 2.0 doesn't include OMNI.

ETA:
If Search with login, posts in OMNI & /PR are included.

Not sure if this is the intended result/feature or simply a glitch in Beta Search 2.0.

There are still some bugs that need to be worked out of the system, and we will be repairing them as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience, and will keep you updated!

When trying to search for "ITA" (for obvious reasons), I am now getting:

I remember a while ago when, for a time, the search facility used to have a limitation where it couldn't search for terms with less than 4 characters.

Unfortunately, I rely on the ability to search for those three characters to provide timely feedback to FlyerTalk about our product. Is this a permanent change?

I am sure you are hard at it, but please hurry! It is really frustrating not to be able to search by username.

In the meantime, click on the user's profile, go to STATISTICS, and click FIND ALL POSTS or THREADS STARTED BY USER.

If you are looking for specific term, for example, LAX or ITA; put quotes around it, "LAX" , "ITA", voila - results.

Just noticed that in the "IB Beta Search 2.0", the deleted posts are no longer visible/viewable. At least you guys finally took care of one long-lived bug with the newest update.

Advanced Search by User Name is still not functional though. Oh, and "My Posts" are still capped at 500 posts this morning.
