Default search issues.

Anybody else notice a issue with the search function? When I try to search by thread title, it tells me there are no results. Even if I know for a fact there are at least a couple of them with it.

I searched for this thread and it was third ob the results list. I'm not gonna lie. Thus sites search function sucks. You may want to try google and use "search site: cherokeeforum.com xxxx" xxx would.be your search.

Also getting no results in searches.

Additionally when I try to use the "Find all posts by ________" either for myself or someone else, it shows no results.

I've seen this before with smaller sites and usually there is a reset required. I don't know exactly what that entails or if that is relevant here...but I've seen it before with vBulletin.

Search doesn't work at all via tapatalk app. Would be awesome if this got fixed so us mobile users can search for help instead of reposting the same threads hundreds of times.

Or just fix the search feature on tapatalk since the forum is supposed to be compatible with tapatalk.

Or since Cherokeeforum.com doesn't own either app they won't be able to do anything. Tapatalk has to fix the search compatability on Tapatalk's app. Crazy right? Send the creators a message.

Because tapatalk isn't a forum plugin that is added to the forums by the forum owners, right? If something is screwed up with the search, it's on the forum side of it. It could be something as easy as updating the plugin.

Now go back to pretending you know what you're talking about

Wrong, that's like saying it's Jeep's fault a aftermarket part doesn't work. If other apps work, the issue is with taptalk. If the issue was with other apps also, then you would be right, but your not.

Actually being a moderator for the site and having had conversations with the staff from the site owners I do know. They report issues that they know of to tapatalk which really isn't even a plug in at the forum level, but when it comes to fixing issues it's all about the app developers. So make sure you get YOUR info straight.
