Pretty sure there's plenty of 'welcome's from @Tsaukpaetra and myself, plenty more recently than two months.
-
Search no longer "welcome".

My bet is a manually-maintained index needs to be rebuilt. @ben_lubar
If I put your name (or mine) in the posted-by field, it seems to work fine.

Kek, currently, searching for "Quotes" (my usual go-to for finding the Quotes Out of Context thread) is super broken:
-
@Tsaukpaetra Just go to @Zecc's profile.

To perform a search? That sounds.... Wrong....
-
@Tsaukpaetra No, to find all the useful threads.

Sounds like work or bias and a workaround to a problem instead of a solution. I see what you're doing here, perhaps you should review this thread from the beginning...

No, see, it's working perfectly: it's finding all the threads that have quote characters in the title!

Irregardless, it's not sorting them descending by last posted in date. :P
-
@Tsaukpaetra Is
teaser.timestampthe date and time of the first post or last post in the thread?

@Tsaukpaetra Is
teaser.timestampthe date and time of the first post or last post in the thread?I'm assuming it's the timestamp of the post that's shown in topic lists (i.e. latest post in the thread). At least, that's what it usually is....
It's also what's used by "Last reply time" in the dropdown, I used that over timestamp because I thought that looking for threads instead of individual posts would be more effective...

@pie_flavor said in Searching Sucks Dick Episode V: The Retarded Algorithm Strikes Back:
@Tsaukpaetra Just go to @Zecc's profile.
Is this a subtle suggestion that I should update the list of links there (because QooC is missing), or is my profile different in your universe?
-
@Zecc Never mind. It is there. I'm surprised actually. I guess I was looking for "QooC" and missed "Quotes: OoC".
-
@Zecc Actually, I'll give a subtle suggestion to add the Status Thread.
-
@pie_flavor I never go there, but fine. I've also added Nope.
Took away the line that said "Line to work around Markdown parsing bug" so it would fit the character limit. Apparently whatever bug it was is now gone.
Update: added "Cute" as well, and fixed Nope which was pointing at
/23264/422instead of/topic/23264.Updated update: added "Poe".
Quotes Out of Context is topic 20500 btw. It's a somewhat memorable id.
-
I hear this forum has this feature called "tags"...
It works for
poes law. Perhaps we just need to add the needful tags to the other threads.

Ah, it's way past the edit window to do that...

@Tsaukpaetra Everything is possible when @ben_lubar has access to the database.
