    Search function down? all threads merged

    The advanced search function seems to be working, except for the one I always use and have been using for the last 10+ year, namely finding topics where I replied the last month.

    I even reset my search preferences, just in case I clicked on something that messes up the search, but didn't help. I always get the same message:

    "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

    This is a bit anoying as I have to browse to and through all topics to see or recall where I replied in.

    Search function down?

    Anyone else having issues with the search box? I keep getting a 'connection refused' message whenever I search for key words.

    connection to 127.0.0.1:9312 failed (errno=111, msg=Connection refused)

    They are working on fixing it. Not as simple as just re-indexing, it is a server level issue.
    Have patience please

    Ironically enough, this topic now comes up, and only this one, when using the search.

    It's been working fine since a few days.

    Sometimes on my iphone I have to repess search to get all my topics, otherwise it only finds this topic.

    Bmw 323i e21
    The other day, I searched the e21 forum for "gas leak", "dripping gas" and "gas smell" (very common issues on the e21 cars) and got several hits that were relevant to my issue and with some good advise.
    Today I decided to fix the darn leak once and for all and ran the same searches again, however , I only get one hit that looks relevant to my search with the title "I smell gas, I see gas, THE TANK IS LEAKING" from 2003!!, and there is only one (1) page of hits!! Leaking fuel lines are common on the e21 and there should be pages of possible hits especially when running the search on "gas smell" (please see link)
    https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...archid=5924172
    but all I get is a half page of hits where there should be several pages of it.

    Please advise
    Regards.

    Try it now... unfortunately, the people who tell me things aren't always sure.
    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
