This means they are using the new, more advanced search functions. That is good as they are much faster. Unfortunately it means they don't have their MySQL server configured to index words less than 4 characters. So, you will not be able to search for any terms 3 characters or less. This is a configuration issue on the server and can be fixed however. All my servers are set to 2 characters or more for indexing.
Fixed. Thanks Brian.

I just tried searching for "ggd" and it found just one post, that was posted today, but didn't find anything before that. This is better than yesterday when it didn't find any posts.
Will the new indexing eventually cover the entire multi-year history of the forum, or will it just be from the time the fix was made going forward?

Hey!
White space in Safari is fixed!
Font size in reply window is fixed!
Thanks!
The only thing I'm looking for now is the marking of new posts inside a given thread as New, like it used to be.
Edit:
Oh, and clicking Go To Topic usually takes me to the top of some random page instead of to the topic I'm viewing.
Again thanks for all your hard work!

Are you talking about the little red "new" by the post? If so, that shows for me in FF and Safari.

Is the overly huge "Posted by", "PM" & "Ignore" here to stay? It seemed to go from tiny to huge. Is/was there an intermediate font size?

Same result here. Maybe the MySQL drive will re-index at some point with the new parameters set...

I see there has been some work today.
Is the reply box text problem on the fix list somewhere, still?
Still huge in FF2.

I'm in Safari, but they don't show for me in Firefox either.
I'm going to go to another thread with some new entries and take some screenshots; I'll post in the screenshots thread.
EDIT: OK, so the Screenshots thread is gone; here are the pics.
1: Note that 2 of the 4 posts in this thread are new:
2. Note in the thread listing that none are marked "new":
Again, I'm seeing the same thing in both Safari and Firefox.

About the Go To Topic bug - Joey Cupcakes - 09-23-2008
I posted earlier that clicking "Go To Topic" was taking me to the top of some random past page. I've determined that this is the case ONLY for Sticky threads; normal non-sticky threads are not exhibiting this problem.
PS- I would still like to see the thread name at the top of the individual post. Sometimes you actually do forget which thread you are reading, and if you're on the last post and hit Next Message you'll be in a different thread than you think you are...
