Let's talk about the search function

I've had this problem too with "Search This Thread". No clue as to why, but it's been like that for a while now. The only work-around is to use the Advanced Search where you can select individual forum sections instead of the entire forum. It narrows it down a bit.

Thanks Plankton but no, it doesn't work within the journals section. There's not much of an advanced search anyway, but even using it still returns me to the database error.

Try it from your own journal and see if you can search (or from mine, or anyone else's).

I was talking about going to the main page and using the Search function in the bar with "User CP/Blogging/New Posts/Search/Quick Links/Log Out" options.

Like this:
