Search Bug

[jiffy]

The search box will only work with key words above 3 characters.

This renders 'search' pretty much useless: CPU, AMD, VIA, HT, HTT, HL2, HL, DVD, GPU, VDU, etc etc

Thanks, that explains that.

It must be on your end. It’s weird you get the first page, but not the other's. What browser are you using? If you tried different browser did you change anything that you can recall. Maybe firewall. I don’t know, that’s a tough one, but I would guess you changed something at one time or another.

Yes, please try different browsers, also logout and try again. Looks like you are the only one with this problem. Can you try from another location?

and try deleting cookies and a disk clean up.

I've tried different browsers, different PCs on different firewalls. It always happens to me. It happens at work using IE 6 and FF 1.5 on a P4 2GHz WinXP Pro machine on a Win2003 server domain with a proxy firewall. (It's done it with older versions of FF too.) It even happens at home using IE 5.5 on a P166MMX Win95 laptop with no domain and a DSL modem connected to a simple network router.

And if it were a firewall problem then it wouldn't be letting any results through. But it is, at first. Sometimes it even lets me load page2. It's like the server just drops my search results from a cache after a period of time or something. **shrug** I don't know. Beats me.

All that I can say is that it's got to be something on the server side, because my work and home machines are so incredibly different.

But if it's just my account seeing it happen then maybe there's a funny setting somewhere in my account somewhere that's causing it?

EDIT:Nope. I just tried creating a new account and I get the same problem, so it can't be something in my account settings. It's really weird that I'm the only person seeing this. :? I'd say that maybe the server doesn't like my IP address, but at home I've got a totally different (and dynamic) address, so that can't be it.

slvr,

Can you please PM me the word you type in a section, the keys you click on to reproduce the problem. Also if you make a record of the url's you see, that would be great.

Sorry for the problem.
