Search function

The search function is off kilter, at least for these specific recent searches...Hk45, 1911 holsters, TRP, etc...It'`s just pulling random threads it seems.

I did a search yesterday and all it did was search the general handgun forum. The search was about rifles. So I used the advanced search and specified the rifle forum. Then it did the same thing all results were from the general handguns forum.

i was searching for sierra gamekings in a search and it brought up stuff about .45 ACP. Did a search within the thread and nothing in there about Gamekings, so yeah, maybe something is wrong...

I've noticed it too.....it does not bring up the "key words" when you do a search

The only results my searches come up with are from the year 2000 and older.

Edit: Though the "New Posts" button seems to be working fine.

I too am getting only old posts and it is not searching the key words.

In the meantime you can use the google site search: type your search term "1911" site:thefiringline.com. It will give you a list of hits.

Upgrading the search engine caused a snafu with the existing search index. It's been regenerated and should be working now.
