What kind of search are you doing? What happens when you do it? What browser and version are you using?

Is there a time delay before search terms are indexed? I've just tried to search for posts containing the word "Search" in this forum and the most recent result is 7 months ago, despite the fact that the word appears in the previous post. Similarly with the word "browser".

Are you using Thread Search or the regular Search function?

For me it is regular search, and advanced search, using Safari mostly but I've tried other browsers (Firefox, Chrome) with similar (non)results.

e.g. search for Typhoon and get no recent results despite at least 2 current threads in mil.

This is what I see when I do an advanced search for keyword "Typhoon" in Chrome.

You see something different? I'm getting results as recent as today.

Search problems - use google

Most web sites' in-built search is pretty poor. I always try google first.

eg

"site[colon]pprune.org typhoon missile"
"site[colon]pprune.org +typhoon -missile" --must have word typhoon musn't have word missile.

- replace [colon] with a colon -- one of these ::::::
- don't type the quote marks. In google that allows searching for complete phrases.


Sometimes returns an "archive" version of the pprune site but there are links to the main site from there.

Search still odd. Posted today in a thread about Chivenor but here is the search result and it is not shown. Just pick a word from the front page (say 'Finningley') and see if you get that thread in your results.
