What's up with the SEARCH function?

Postby bugdewde » Fri Apr 01, 2022 7:57 am

Seems when I use the search function, I get a message asking to put my question on the web or something ....
It no longer provides relative links to threads.....

I always refer the Facebook crowd/questions to come here for tried and true information. How will they ever find it if the search function isn't working?

I attached a screenshot of what pops up after a query. WTH?

I noticed the same thing, I usually use a google filter for "site:forums.h-body.org" instead of the search but still having the same issue.I saw something similar happen to nastyz28 a few years back.

this is what i found, maybe one of the site owners disabled something recently

Maybe google doesn’t like our not secure status?? My antivirus reminds me of this often.

I noticed it also it seems like some settings were turned down or off to limit searches from exceeding the servers bandwidwith limits.
It also makes you wait to see the second and third pages of search results like it’s a new separate search.
