Jul 08, 2009 5:51:45 Doesn't seem to search.

I can see a Blue link text saying Traps in the top left corner and a tick box that says Search Name only. None of which fits with the normal layout, which is still there.

The search box seems to not work at all however. In either Firefox or Internet Explorer 7

Jul 08, 2009 9:33:10 I just performed a successful search for "Deva" and got (fast!) results.

Might be something on your end?

Have you flushed all the cookies and etc and tried again?

Doesn't seem to search.

Search seems to still be working for me, mostly. Searches using the "OR" term seem to be broken though. I was working on the idea of a Lyrandar Artificer so tried to search for all the lightning and thunder artificer powers and my attempt only returned two powers (the ones that involve both keywords) instead any power with either keyword as it would have two days ago.

Jul 08, 2009 10:20:23 I am having issues as well. In Safari (my usual browser) I do not see the option for traps at all. In Internet Explorer, I can see the traps, but I cannot apply any filters.

Typicaly I use the compendium to copy and paste monsters into Word documents. It has always worked fine in Safari, but when I try to copy either mosnter or trap in IE the text does not carry over the formatting and spacing.

Jul 08, 2009 10:38:22 I did a Shift+Reload and it seems to be working okay now. The Traps has moved to the right place and search works again.

Can you get the "OR" term to work in your searches? I still cant.

Aug 02, 2009 11:36:10 Compendium is refusing to let me log in.

Even though Im a subscriber and the top left corner of the home page says I am logged in, when I open the compenndium it only lets me open the demo version. What's wrong?

Aug 07, 2009 13:23:10 I still can't get the "or" and "-" search commands to work. I had hoped the loss of these functions was a temporary oversight, but now post-August update I still can't use these functions.

Prior to the July update, I used these search features regularly, and their loss has made my use of the compendium significantly more cumbersome. I have checked using other computers and other browsers, so I don't think it's just me. I would seriously like to hear from WotC as to why these search functions are no longer available.

Search seems seriously broken. I've tried for weeks using it and it doesnt match on some of the simpliest of mistakes. You almost have to know EXACTLY how to spell what you are looking for to make it work correctly. For example, If I am looking for "Boots of " and I type BOOTS then I get like 89 items...but type just "BOOT" then I get like 1 item. All the items that are "BOOTS" with an "S" are not found and any text with "BOOTS" in it - doesnt match with "BOOT". Type "Wall of Thorn" and you cant find "Wall of Thorns" - there are lots of other examples where the shorter string doesnt find it because the word isnt an exact match. Like "Coruscat" wont find "Coruscating"

I hope Wizards fixes it in the Compendium as I like to use it but many times - I cant remember the exact name of what I am looking for.
