Search function not working

Hermy

Just wondering what's up with the search function at the moment?

Any search I do takes me to the Advanced Search page instead of delivering the results of the search. This happens whether I search by keyword or by username.
Even going to my own profile page and clicking Find all posts by Hermy causes the same result - I get taken to the Advanced Search page.

Is this a bug or an alteration to the search function?

Searching for "Find all posts by Black_Knight" for example just throws up the general search page with empty fields.

The requested URL is:
https://www.boards.ie/search/submit/?user=142165&sort=newest
But it loads the search page like this guy:
https://www.boards.ie/search/

Rather than returning results.
I've tried incognito, and disabled browser plugins.
Network tab doesn't show any failed requests.

I’ve merged two threads on the same topic.

I notice that Cloudflare is currently active on the site, so I wonder if we are perhaps experiencing some issues?

When did this start happening for you?

Seeing Cloudfare page also, when I got past the check the site did not look as it should.
Gave it a few minutes and last time I came in everything looked as it should.

I only noticed it before I posted.

Ronan is looking into matters. There are some issues with site performance at the moment.

Hermy

Thank you.

The boards search function is useless anyway. I never get what i'm looking for when i use it.

The best way to search Boards is to use google search with operator for searching within a specific site.

ie " search function not working site:boards.ie "

Hermy everything should be back to normal now but if not, please do let us know. Thanks.

Hermy

Yes, working fine for me - thanks.
