Posted December 9, 2014 It disappeared when we switched hosting servers (if you remember over the summer there was a lot of downtime on LTT and then the admins decided to migrate to a new host) but it never worked anyway, if you want to search just go to Google and type in site:linustechtips.com *search terms* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 9, 2014 It was buggy anyway, they removed it. But you can still access it in I.P Board theme. Button is gone but this link still works http://linustechtips.com/main/index.php?app=core&module=search Just click on "View New Content" and delete everything past "app=core&module=search" in the url bar to access the search page.

Posted December 9, 2014 Committed seppuku upon the shame of its 500 billionth failed search anniversary.

Posted December 15, 2014 It's taking a break because it was causing some issues, but the intention is to have it return at some point. In the mean time, use a google search for "site:linustechtips.com <query>" to the same effect. HTTP/2 203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 15, 2014 I'm no forum veteran, not this one or any, but I'm a pretty savvy guy, when it comes to computer navigation/utilization. So either I am suffering from highly selective brain dysfunction, or there is no search feature on this forum. I don't like people posting topics without doing research first, and I dislike even more-so being that person. However, in order to avoid doing that, I have to manually ctrl-f for about 30+ pages of forum pages (answered and unanswered). It's time consuming and not very reliable, especially because 30 pages deep in one particular forum sub-section may only be a month or two ago.If someone can either assure me that I'm not just being stupid, or else point me to the search feature, I would greatly appreciate it.

Posted December 15, 2014 This is the 500001th thread about the search function. It was originally a thing, but it was really shitty and never worked. Somehow it was lost during server migration (that's another story). It'll be back in IPB4.
