+Mopar Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 The search function in the forums only seems to go back a few days, even when told to search everything. For example, a search for the word "geocache" only turns up 5 posts! The word "cache" which is used every single day here somewhere, only turned up 29 results. Nothing before Feb. 02, 2003. Search for "GEOCACHE" Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon. Link to comment
+Fattuhr Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I just did a search for Virtuals and only came back with 3 posts. What I am trying to find out if TPTB are trying to go away from approving these types of caches. We have had a run of Virtual cache being archived, and asked why there wasn't a real cache placed instead. This has happened to quite a few of the cachers in our area. Some places you just can't put a real cache in, and they are still nice areas to go visit and learn something. My wife says put a coordinate on it and I'll find it. Link to comment
Elias Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I've reported this to Infopop. I'll post an update when I hear back from them. -Elias Link to comment
+Markwell Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Wow. A search for "Markwell" only yields 3 (now 4) results. Considering I've made over 1800 posts to the forums my self (all ending with the word "Markwell") and other people have used markwell prolifically as a verb - this is a problem.

+Allen_L Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I just clicked your search for "Markwell" and got 5 pages with 499+ matches. I also get 5 pages with 489+ matches for "geocache". Update. The above results were with Netscape. I just tried with IE and the "Markwell" search returns 4 matches. Link to comment

Elias Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Its not a browser thing. Sometimes the queries execute properly (giving 500+ matches), other times they don't complete and only return a handful. -Elias Link to comment
Elias Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Infopop is rolling out an update tonight around 6 PM PT which should correct this issue. Please let me know if the problem continues tomorrow. -Elias Link to comment
+MercRocks Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Tried a search this morning, and said it was down...Same problems or new one?..just figured I'd let someone know...
