Hello, I am sorry, I am not sure if it was reported before, but because “Search this forum” function doesn’t work, I couldn’t search the forum and see if it was reported before.

Basically forum returns “Found 0 results.” on any keyword or sentence written inside

Edit: I found few exceptions. Letter “a” returns one result, “for” returns two results… randomly, sometimes one sometimes none. So i think search mechanism still works, but is probably reffering to the old structure of the forum before “forum squish”

It is not possible for the Devs to fix the forum Search function. They are considering new Forum software in the future.

And yes, it has been reported hundreds of times. You can use Google to search the forums, if you so desire, but with reorganization, you will need to know what sub-forum the threads have been moved to.

Here is an example of how that works: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/FAQ-and-Sticky-Threads/first#post4622432

Good luck.

Yup, as said it has been reported several times (even a big thread about this is now archived due reorganization). A most recent one is here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Forum-s-search-feature-doesn-t-work-A-tip/ (There is a link for a devs post stating why they can’t fix it and what are the plans for forums).

It’s not archived, it’s in this very sub-forum. It’s just some pages back, as the forum moves rather quickly now. =)

You can find it with a Google search, but need to amend the URL link.

Good luck.

Hehe maybe you misread me. I was talking about this thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/forum/Search-feature-not-working that’s now archived. The one I posted a link for is more recent but yes, it must be deep in some pages back.

My bad…I’m not sure why that one was archived, as the rest of the Tech Support/Account/Forum sub-forum/threads were rolled into one. And all the bug ones, as well.

Oh well, we have the definitive word on it now, so it matters not.

Yes, at least we have some word from devs about it. In fact, the old Forums and Website Bugs wasn’t merged or rolled into another, it was just archived/closed and new threads about that type of issues now are meant to go into this forum section.
