Blog Searches broken?

I have just tried to use the Blog Search box within a blog to locate an earlier post of mine in a group. It returned no results, no matter what I tried. I then tried using a word I could see on the same page. Also, no results.
Then I tried to search my own blog for various things I could already see or knew were there, and not one search has returned any results.

Is the Blog Search function broken? I'm sure it was working a few days ago.

Are you in 4.0 or 3.1, Mart?
Blog search may not work with the beta...:left:

This is with Opera 9.23 for Desktop, Mini 3.1 and Mini Beta 2, as well as with Internet Explorer :yuck:. And no matter what blog I visit and what search I try, the Blog Search returns no results. Whether I'm logged in or not makes no difference.

So, for example, if I go to mine and search for 'Welcome', I get nothing, despite it being the title of my main post.

Yep, happened to me too. I noticed it a few days back.

I"ve had the same problem for a couple of day now on my template.

Evidently, it's not high on the priority list of getting fixed. What I can say is that with over 400 posts, it's a real pain going through my archive.

And BTW, I don't think your post counter that is used on the forum up by the avatar is working right either. Theoddbod is listed as having 6706 posts, while he has 48. While I am listed as having 35, whereas I have 426.

Hmmmm.

The post counter is the number of forum posts, not blog posts.

How about forum post count - not that I ever confused them...:left:
   Mik, individual posts make a thread, right? Threads make forums, correct? :zip:

Hello all,

I have the same problem, seach in Opera Blogs doesn't work. I seached for "ping" (without quotes) and nothing returns. The search in Google did bring back the right matches:

http://www.google.com/search?q=ping+thoblog

(May sound like a little bit paranoid, but only to check if the posting is out there right at this time.)

best greetings, Thomas

Blog Search is definitely broken. I have removed it from the sidebar until it is fixed.

Hello,

I've constructed a own webpage with search functionality for Opera Blogs.

Hi,

Thought I'd grab a chair and wait in this WAITING ROOM until the good OPERA software doctor has time to see and solve our problems.

Anyone care for a mint?

When I search for a word, it only returns a post when it's exactly what I searched for...
I think it could more smart, like those sites that list different results by relevance (similar words etc.). :smile:

Just a brief note to say Thank You Opera Crew..... The search tag feature is working again....

I waited a few days just to make sure that things were back on track and so far so good.....

Thanks again,
John

This is still broken for me. Some searches work, others don't and I can't find any pattern.
