Forum Search Error

[Zaulche]

I tried to do a search on the forum and got the following error:

Database Error

Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

I tried several times with various topics and got the same result. Since I am new to the site I am not sure if the search ever worked properly in the first place.

Is this an actual error that needs to be fixed, or is it a function of the forum that has not been incorporated yet?

I've been having the exact same problem.

I've been getting it too. I tried sending a PM to Ramsus on Thursday.

[Kebrel]

It was working not too long ago, hmm they might be working on something right now.

[Ramsus]

I'll look into it.

[Ramsus]

I'll just restore the database later. For the time being, try using google with site:chronocompendium.com in the search terms.

[Ramsus]

Dammit, the forum order is all jacked up now.

lol...I was wondering wtf was going on...I swear, I might have said, "Am I high? What's going on here?" out loud...>_>

[Zaulche]

Thanks, the google search method seems to be working for now while the database is down.

Does anyone know if there is a command that can be entered with a google search to display results in chronological order instead of by the number of hits?

[FaustWolf]

There's an "advanced search" option in Google, but it only allows you to list results within the past 24 hours or within a certain number of days as opposed to ranking all the results by date. I think...

[Zaulche]

Yeah, you are right. It just limits the results to a certain time frame but still lists them in order by the number of hits.

Using this method made me realise just how long ago a lot of these threads stopped. I did not notice a lot of dates when I started reading topics posted here but I definitely notice them now.

How come this hasn't been fixed?
It's been almost 2 weeks now...

[Kebrel]

I trust Ramsus is working on it, the order is back to normal.

I trust Ramsus is working on it, the order is back to normal.

That was me.

Fixing forum search on a video game fan site kind of falls low on my list of priorities -- as it should, considering the nature of the work that I do.
