forum search not working
It has never worked great. Its easier to use google.
Write something like:
lag site:forum-en.guildwars2.com
and then change the search tools to 24 hours.
The search tool is broken and has been for almost the entire history of the forum. Anet is not able to fix it.

I would give just about anything to get that Search feature working. Unfortunately, it’s not possible for us to do. Believe me, I dislike that we’re missing “search” as much as you do!
Also there are many threads that will show up as not found when you use Google because of the recent forum merger. In time Google will get the new links but Anet could help that by submitting a new sitemap to Google.
Thank you for your replies!
I use google, and then when I get to the post I get that error message…
You may find the tip in this thread helpful, if you can determine which sub-forum the thread Google has found is now located:
