Not a technical issue… just….didn’t know/couldn’t find a better place to post:

I have tried fruitlessly and have searched for a mechanic that works but have not found anything.

When searching for content on the forums…
I have tried using the “search the forums” bar on the right side of the top of the webpage w/ very little success. I search for terms I KNOW would get results only to get, “No Results, Try a different search term”; or very very few posts when there should be a plethora.
I know there HAS to be a way for people to search the forums efficiently and effectively… plz help

ThankYou,
RogueTigeR

go to the forum you want to search in (or https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/ for all forums) and type in the search box, and hit enter.

this works for me, it should work for you, if it does not, log out, clear your cookies, then log back in and try again. (I know it sounds strange, but just give it a go).

Progress blocking bugs are top priority, but not all bugs are so easy to fix as others, be cool :)

Unfortunately for us, the forum’s ‘Search’ “feature” still does not function at all and hasn’t for over a month. It is an ongoing issue that has not been resolved and forum support has stopped responding to pleas to fix the issue.

Was there a specific topic of interest you are looking for information on that we may be able to help you with? They seem to pretty much rely on players to help eachother out on the majority of topics posted about on the forums.
