Forum search not working

[+The Snowdog]

I posted this in "General Waymarking Topics" but it really belongs here. I was trying to track down an old forum post about ISS Sightings. A search for ISS came up empty even though there was a post with ISS in the title on the very first page. So I am proposing that searching the forums is broken.

 

 

I have no idea how to delete the duplicate image, I keep trying...sorry...

I'll second the above. I did a search in the Forum recently, even searching on a term that I copied directly from the forum, with no results. Can't say how long this has been an issue as I seldom search the forums.

I think the search in the forums hasn't been working for ages. See https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/347618-searching-the-forums/. Whenever I have to search here, I do it like this:

 

https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.geocaching.com+"Waymarking"+"iss"&oq=site%3Aforums.geocaching.com+"Waymarking"+"iss"

LOL, back in the day I would use the same trick to find articles on Microsoft's MSDN site; it was so much faster than their internal search.
