cant use search function in my gameplay threads


Website Feedback


i feel foolish asking this, but whenever i try to run a search for anything within one of my play by post threads, the search function comes up with nothing.

for example: i go through this page, and i search for undermountain. it is a common unique term, as i am running an undermountian campaign. But, when i type it into the search box at the top right of the page and hit enter, nothing comes up.

and i tried this on my shadowrun game, and noticed it in previous games as well, but i thought maybe you guys were running backups on the database or something and something got messed up.

Now, here is the funky part. i can go to another game thread that i am not in nor do i run, and type in a random word, and the search function works flawlessly.

Im scratching my head here....


Hey, don't feel foolish. The search function here has issues. Back in 2021 I asked about it, and from the response it seems that they have to manually run an index for the search feature. Once they did that, the search feature was caught up.

...Until it wasn't, again! Numerous times since I've tried to search for something recent, but the results don't show up for a while. Presumably, they run the search indexer occasionally. It would be great if they could automate it to run on a certain schedule, but I don't know how difficult that would be.


Well thats some banta poodo


well, this is rather disappointing....
