Title: [Resolved] Is the geekhack search broken for anyone else?
Post by: Coreda on Fri, 07 October 2022, 07:55:46

Tried searching for 'windowed' and it failed to display any results (didn't display that no results were found but the entire section just didn't load). Was working for me 1-2 weeks back.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: hmm, tried with 'keyboard' as a test and it shows results. Yet I saw an OP in the past week who used the term 'windowed' so I know it exists here and the search wasn't titles only.

Advanced search seems to be working somewhat better atleast

Okay, turned out I'd forgotten the geekhack quirk of needing to use the 'Match any words' dropdown option instead of 'Match all words' (despite there only being a single word).

I have always had trouble with it so I just google "geek hack' and what I am looking for.

Yeah for like a decade I've had a `site:geekhack.org` custom browser search but it's not the best for some queries.
