The inability to get search results is maddening.

Running a forum search yields a completely blank screen in response.

For example, I just did a search on "spirit armor" using the "search" drop down, and got just blank whiteness.

This is the same blank whiteness that one gets when attempting to view user profiles.

-My search feature is working just fine. Did you try erasing your cookies, emptying your cache, and all of that?

Being fairly versed in how vBulletin works (I administer 2 instances), I don't see how cache, cookies or other such actions would impact search results in vB - but it *might* be a corporate firewall issue on my end. Still, I'll try it...

...*flushes his cache and cookies*...

Nope.

And I killed my http tunnel subscription ... so I'll just blame it on the firewall and leave it at that I guess. :/

-I don't know what it would have done either, but I know one of the first responses to people having internet problems is to erase their cookies/cache and start over with those things.

The search problem is sporadic and has been going on for some time. the only thing that can be done (AFAIK) is to hit refresh (sometimes more than once) but you still have to wait on the timer.

The search doesn't always work. Further if a search fails you must wait to try again.

The simplest solution for the time being is to add tis to a google search "site:http://forums.gleemax.com". That will limit the search to this site.
