crad159 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 What happen to the Search forum tool? Whenever I try to use it, it reads, "This menu has been disabled". Has another search tool replaced it? Thanks Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/457650-search/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerner Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 It works fine for me. Maybe you were logged out at the time you tried it? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/457650-search/#findComment-1060097284 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanzant Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 No disrespect, but the search function is always like rolling the dice for me. My issue stems from looking for a topic by the title, but it searches by keyword over the topics that exist which leads to Three or more pages of topics that have no relevance whatsoever to what I am searching for. If there was an option for search, like "by topic title" or "topic content" that would help I think a lot.

I'll see if I can dig up a screen. Edited September 1, 2010 by nerner Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/457650-search/#findComment-1060108208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miro Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Still, the 'Find all posts by this member' option is still denied. This helps a lot of people too, but now we can't search this way anymore. I really hope the Admins will fix the search function and make it like it was.

Vanzant Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Oh never tried it from the forum tools bar, I've just tried the options at the bottom of the screen, which does have a "search by title" but it doesn't seem to work.

nerner Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 On the sidebar where it says all of the names of the forums, it should be under the "Forum Tools" tab right in the top left hand corner underneath all of the links to other network sites.

AndyGanteks Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Search is still disabled, but i've noticed 2 more bugs/disables. 1. On any profile, on any member it says ''Most active in 0 posts in this forum ( 0% of this member's active posts )'' When i try to leave a link like this text it doesn't work. When i just paste a link without giving the clickable link a name it doesn't work. Didn't wanna start a new topic for it.
