Search Function Error Message
« on: September 13, 2015, 08:01:10 AM »
Good morning!

I have tried to use the search function and keep receiving the same error message; I do not know who the admin is, here, but this is the message received:

"Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator."

Who should I contact to be sure an administrator sees this?

Search for "administrator".

;) The forum search is terrible. Just google:
<your search term> site:forum.mrmoneymustache.com

Ditto!  The search function hasn't worked for me either.  Thanks for the tip about just searching via google - gonna try that now.

Search works fine, if you don't search the whole forums, but just choose which subforums you want to search.

http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/search/

At the bottom, click the plus (+) next to which boards to search, and choose which ones you want to search.

Otherwise use Google, with the site:forum.mrmoneymustache.com search operator.

I pretty much only use Google, except for the journals (since that's hidden--only viewable with a login, so Google can't crawl it), so I'll search just that subforum.
