Default Wow, the search function has reached new lows.

Tried entering <b>fantasy</b> in the "Search For" field, Search Type: <b>subject</b>, Database: <b>Off Topic</b>, Date Range: <b>02/25/2005</b> to <b>03/02/2005</b> and get NOTHING back. Try adjusting the search type to <b>Everything</b>, NOTHING.

I guess a sucky search function on AW now joins the list with death and taxes.

Default *fingers crossed*

Mine was an HTML/content issue, not the search function itself... but I'll remain hopeful and optimistic.

I get it now. The search engine is fine. It's the index that's screwed up.
