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.

Weird.......

Strange, searching for just 5100 gives quite a few threads about Inspiron 5100. Similarly, you can change to the other search option.

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?

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.
