Forum Search "Auto Search" - How to turn off?
Don’t think you can disable that.. Just type your search query in a notepad and copy-paste it in the Search box?
Commander – Jam Death [Jd]
Fissure of Woe
It’s broken and has been broken. Currently for me it only finds words from today (which is better than it usually works. Normally it finds nothing. Even is it’s on the page you are searching from).
You’re better off using google.

Ok, thanks for the input, was going nuts here
Yep don’t even try to use the search function here—-been broken for a long time and it has been acknowledged by Anet that it is broken and they are unable to fix it in house. It seems they are unwilling to change to current, fully functioning forum osftware(don’t want to use their $$$$?).

I don’t think it’s a matter of being unwilling to switch. Gaile has stated that they have been looking at different software for quite some time. My guess it that it has much to do with compatibility. Will they be able to transfer all the accounts, all the threads, and everything into a new set of software? Being proprietary software, they can’t just copy and paste everything into a new program. And thats why such a switch hasn’t happened yet.
It’s the chain I beat you with until you
recognize my command!”
I suggest this tip: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Forum-s-search-feature-doesn-t-work-A-tip
It is a much better alternative than the current broken system.

I’ll respectfully disagree. I believe that someone higher up refuses to approve funds to make the change.

That is possible, but in my mind unlikely. It doesn’t make sense, business or otherwise. However both options are speculation anyway, with really no facts to back them up :P

I normally just use google and type in “GW2” followed by what i search for.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.

True, but eitherway, Anet has known about the flaw (and others like the ‘subscribe’ option) for quite some time and have done NOTHING about it. That is what makes no business sense or any other sense for that matter. Bottom line is money.
