I am on the mobile version so I can't search, but what I normally try to find is the OMNI exercise blog. I tried last night with quotes and without quotes - no dice.

I found it easily in my search.

Is there anything I might possibly be doing different from you in terms of using the Search function?...

Ah, that helps. This problem in the omni case is outside search; it appears there are some permissions or caveats to searching forums that require a login. That's why myself (temp. admin access) and a moderator were able to find the OMNI threads, whilst you are not having luck. I'll forward this on this on - there is a permission issue somewhere at play here.

Word, thanks.

So what's up w/ the new search function. I just tried searching for a thread in the Marriott forum that I started within the last month, but didn't want to have to go through multiple pages to find it. Not only did it not bring it up, it brought up a gazillion other threads I had posted on. That's not really that helpful.

Cheers.

And on the other hand, I did a Search of a 20+ page thread in the UA Forum on RCC rate increase for the word "automatic" and only one post was returned ... and the word was not highlighted in red (as I recall search words were in the past).

"My Posts" Capped at 500?
 

Just a headsup to IB IT team. Three days later, this "glitch" hasn't gone away. Instead of showing all posts by say users, there are still only 500 posts in search feature (i.e. Quick Links > My Posts).

Searching for " ISP " and just ISP without the quotes comes up with nothing...I am sure someone probably reported problems with 3 letter codes, but I am just adding on in case they didn't.

Does IBB even have a QA team?

The issues that we have been encountering with search and logging (having to tick the remember box again this morning) are more than embarrassing. They have turned into a farce of web site. :td:

I can't search OMNI or OMNI-PR. Sorry if this post is repetitive of information contained in the previous umpty-ump pages of this thread, I just don't have time to slog through it all.

Some issues are worth mentioning and memory being refreshed, since FTers are not sure what bugs have been worked on or resolved most of the time when search feature is involved in the last 13 month. ;)

For the moment being, without login, you can't search OMNI & /PR using IB Search. I'd reported this on 2/24/09, right after the "relaunch" of the updated search spiced with new wave of problems.

If you like, you can see how the IB Terms responded and addressed these issues here & here.

ps. Google is your best friend if you want to search OMNI. Google delivers 100% of the time. :D

For the first time in a year, Search is working from the standard IE browser! Congratulations!

I am so damn sick of search.

I wanted to find a post of mine to reply to a question on the UA Forum. So I did a search and my most recent UA post is June 22, 2008. I have posted today and definitely within the past week.

This is just a fiasco. It is absolute incompetence. When many are worried about losing their jobs due to the economy we would be fired for a performance like this.

FT search is really, really, really worthless.

I did a search in Trip Reports for Buenos Aires Intercontinental and I got threads about flying to India and Hong Kong. The threads did not have *any* of the three search words in them.

Something is seriously wrong with the search. Using google is the only solution that I can find. They have indexed this site correctly; IB has not.

I agree 100%.
