Search from tapatalk app on mobile device not working
When I try to search from my iPhone on the tapatalk app on the forum it will not show any results. I have to use my browser (safari) to log back on to the forum & perform a search. Any reason for this? I'm on a few different forums & this is the only one that has this problem.

Search is not currently supported for tapatalk, because TFL uses a hacked-together search system with sphinx as the backend. Searching with taptalk works with the digitalpoint sphinx search integration AFAIK, but that's not what TFL uses, unfortunately.
It's a well-known problem, and it'll be fixed eventually, probably with an upgrade/conversion to phpbb, but I can't offer a timeline at this point. A simpler stop-gap might be to see if tapatalk can be easily modified to use google to search, but that has its own problems (privacy, for one... some people don't like the google panopticon... and google has no concept of searching within posts, only pages).
