+Rikitan Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hello .. maybe just FYI .. in case you´ll fail to find a category using a search function (categories - find a category - search) - it does not necessarily mean, that such category does not exist. Example is - Artistic Bus Shelters - link Maybe it´s only my experience, but when I search for keywords "Artistic", "Bus", "Shelters" and their combinations, this category is never shown in results. I have no category on ignore list, so I don´t really understand why it is excluded from all these search results. Quote Link to comment
+Vermontish Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) It's not just newer categories. At least three old categories do not display at all in either My Categories or the Full Category list: Windmills, Town Clocks and all subcategories of Museums. I have several postings in all three; in attempting to post new waymarks the only way I could find the categories was to start from My Waymarks and scroll through page after page. Once I get to the category by this workaround method, I can post in it. Edited August 5, 2014 by Vermontish Quote Link to comment
+fi67 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I normally use the Full Category List and there the search functionality of the browser (usually ctrl+F or the like). There you always get the complete list. Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 It isn't limited to categories, either. Not a single one of the Waymarks I've created since I started Waymarking in earnest last summer are searchable. Three Waymarks I created in 2011 will show up in a search, but none of my other Waymarks will. I suspect the search indexing broke for Waymarks at the same time it did for categories. It's harder to test these, but I have to assume the Group and Scavenger Hunt searches are also broken. Quote Link to comment
+lumbricus Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I checked the Waymark search with my own Waymarks. The problem started between 2/25/2012 and 3/1/2012. All Waymarks older than 2/25/2012 show up, Waymarks approved after the 3/1/2012 give no search result. Perhaps someone could check the days between the 2/25 and 3/1 that we can determine the exact day the problem started. Quote Link to comment
+lumbricus Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 ...and one on 2/29/2012 (!!!)... The Leap Day! Quote Link to comment
