RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted March 9, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2018 Can anyone tell me if something has changed in the Forum Search Facility please ? I've been trying to look up topics using keywords which I would expect to lead to appropriate topics, instances:- (1) Hornby P2,(2) Hornby L1 Tank loco,(3) Peters Spares . What I get as results seems to contain anything that's not relevant and no results for what I'm looking for - not even reference to my search keywords. I've not experienced any problems with this previously up until the last couple of weeks. My laptop is running up to date Windows 10 and Internet Explorer. Any advice will be welcome please, even if it points to me missing something obvious. Regards, John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 John, I've found the same problem. The search function is not usable. You might have more luck with Google, I've sometimes found the thread I'm after very quickly doing that. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted March 9, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks brossard and Enterprisingwestern, that's a almost a relief , though of course I'm sorry there appears to be a fault on the Forum functionality. It would be interesting to see a response from Andy Y or Moderators, to know if they are aware of the situation and whether there is a solution. Will await any further responses with interest.

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted March 9, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2018 Don't hold your breath! It seems to ba a shortcoming of the forum software rather than a fault. There is a getaround by googling externally with rmweb in the term I believe? Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted March 9, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2018 I have the same issues on my IPad Eltel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 The issue was made worse by Google removing their site search app which was integrated with the site. There will be a substantial software upgrade in the next month which will address the issue (and introduce a lot more functionality). In the meantime just go to Google and search for something and include 'rmweb' in your search terms and it should be OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted March 9, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks for the explanation and advice about the work around Andy, good to know you were aware and have the matter in hand. Thing with this sort of problem is I never can tell whether the fault lies with 'the system' or If I'm missing something obvious.
