Forum Search not working?

[Gibber]

Is the Forum Search feature broken?
I am logged in and It does not matter what I enter in the search field, or the search settings, the result is always "no matches found"!

Seems that search has been broken for quite a while. I've given up on it. (Maybe it was actually off and on, but I just had bad luck?) I just use google or duckduckgo or whatever, and then tell it to search just this site. Works great.

Thanks! Thought I was losing it. :+1:

Search should be working again now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Search function restored

@tekka Thank you

[TheoL]

I do like the new forum layout

@tekka has done a tremendous job upgrading stuff. We still need some work on the main site.

@hek Would you think it would be possible to add a Wiki? A read a thread about battery powered sensors. The Author had a difficult time going through all search results. If we would have a wiki it would be easier to make some topics and to keep them updated.

Just a thought

@TheoL In retrospect, it would have been much better if the main site would have been a wiki from start. Right now it's a hot mess developed by me and not suitable to invite the public for updates. Maybe @CodeGarage can setup something.

With the amount of spammers, it would need some sort of moderation. Otherwise it would just be filled with spam and affiliate links.

But a lot of people have earned reputation on the forum, so that could probably be used to give access.

[TheoL]

@hek I hope they will. It doesn't need to be the front page perse. Just a separate wiki, where we can organize knowledge a bit better.

btw. Good to see you again my friend

@mfalkvidd A while ago I tinkered with Media Wiki running on a docker. If I remember correctly you can set access for authors moderators etc.

But I forgot, I need to spin that docker up any time soon anyway. Because it contains my network documentation and I need to update it. I'll let you know.
