Maybe I am just going crazy but have a bunch of posts been deleted from the forum. Are they mirating part of the forums to another server?
Or is there something wrong with the search function?
I know that there were several post about "inspiron 5100" but if i search for that I get nothing.

Strange, searching for just 5100 gives quite a few threads about Inspiron 5100. Similarly, you can change to the other search option. _________________ Please read our FAQ Forum, it answers many of your questions.

Search for:
"Epiphany Mozilla"
"Microsoft fonts"
For the first, I'm getting no results found. For the second, I'm seeing only a couple entries. Search appears to be broken when you put in multiple words. |

I tried the "inspiron 5100" search again and it now is returning 57 results which is about what I expect.
and before I would not get any results for "2.6 kernel" (which is what really threw me off) but now I am getting 300+ results
so I guess either you guys fixed it or the problem went away? _________________ Long live the gentoo forums!!!!! |

we think we fixed it. Short version: we're tweaking the search function so when people run searches for "portage" or other way-too-broad search terms, it doesn't choke the forums and bring it to its knees. The first tweak we made solved that wonderfully, but broke searching in the process. We're working on refining that a bit to find a good balance between protecting against Stupid Searches and still keeping the search function useful.
