Guild Wars 2

I pretty sure this is a bug, a bug that need to be fixed or players gonna keep asking the same question over and over again.

When you try to search something using the search function of the forums, it doesn’t show you all the search results, at least that what happen to me when I use it so I don’t use it any more.

Stickies are very informative.

Good luck.

The search function hasn’t been functional for over two years. Don’t expect a fix anytime soon.
They’re busy fixing things that aren’t broken. #justanetthings

IKR~ but juz have that urge to remind them once in a while they have many broken things which they refuse to fix

My apologies, wrong link; here you go: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Forum-s-search-feature-doesn-t-work-A-tip/first#post4612877

Good luck.

Forum search is broken for a long time now and they are very aware about that. Also, the thing isn’t they aren’t worrying or not caring about fixing it. Once a dev came up and explained that the forum uses a third part software that’s not supported anymore and none at Anet has been able (or got chances) to learn about the software and try to fix it. They are looking for implementing a different system or something but no date for that yet. Also know that devs also are annoyed by the broken search, it’s not easy for them to find things either.

I’ll try to find such post with that explanation.

Edit: actually, Inculpatus just posted a link for that post :P
