Broti Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi there, it's kinda pain the butt when searching for old threads because the only way to find them is using Google (or manually look for them).. The internal search doesn't display those in the results. Is it done on purpose or maybe a slight misconfiguration? Cheers, Broti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Do you have an example? If there is an issue I can see if it can be resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broti Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Just created a small example. Let's just say I want to find the topic "Post your rig" (Section: Everything else, Page:246) Search params are (body + title, any date) and I let it search for "rig" The topic is nowhere to be found within the results. Sasme problem with any other archived topics, like Rubber Ducky payloads, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 What search bar are you using? Make sure it is searching "All Content". If needed, I can create a normal user account and test. You do have to watch when you do the search. If you are viewing a thread it will only search within that category. I was able to find the "Post war rig" thread using the all content search.

Mr-Protocol Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I will have to make a non-admin account to test. Works fine on this account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I had someone with an "Active User" account such as yourself test the search feature and it worked fine. I would check possible browser add-ons or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Protocol Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If you can, make a video and send me the youtube private link in a PM? maybe I can spot what's going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broti Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Well, I tested another browser (Firefox 57 without add-ons) with the same result. To recreate my steps: Either the small search field (top right) or https://forums.hak5.org/search/ Search term: rig Search settings: Content Type: All Content Find results in: Content titles and body Find results that: Contain all of my search term words Date Created: Any Last Updated: Any Hit Search Content Found results: 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It says it found 42 results. I'm confused how it's broken? The thread you were referencing before "Your War Rig" is there on page 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Protocol Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 That post is from SOOO long ago back before a couple database migrations. May be why it's not showing up. If I remember in a couple weeks, I'll see what I can find out from support. I will be traveling for a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
