No way to do searches???

[gkbiiii]

Why can I, no longer do searches on this page??

Search function on all forums is currently 'down for maintenance'. It's been sporadic for weeks - hopefully they'll get it really fixed this time!

A very good method mentioned by Cigar King is to do a Google search using site:cruisecritic.com as part of the query.

Yesterday there was a forum outage for a few hours and site roll back. Some posts were lost in that process. It says something about it at the top of the list of topics. Searching with Google, great idea!

As mentioned previously there has been some on going issues with the boards. I was unable to access them for just about 24 hours due to maintenance. I'm wondering if they took many of the non-essential parts of the boards down in order to allow a more stable environment for the main part of the site, being the boards themselves.

Its massive downside of not allowed to search?

 

Hopefully they will get their homework done,asap

FWIW:

I know the Google search was mentioned already, but even when the search function is working, I find it not the easiest. I prefer the Google method and then going to the post that way.

Google has been my search of choice with these boards. Other message boards have the google search as default.:D

I just noticed the moderators finally put up an announcement a couple of days ago at the top of the forum about the site outages and the disabled search function.

I bagged it a while ago, and just use google exclusively, once you find the search results that link you to the Cruise Critic site, you can click on those and get right to the page containing your search terms. Even when CC search was working you were often stuck with scrolling through the whole thread (sometimes for pages!:eek:) looking for your search terms in red. Probably benefits CC too- "gee whiz, look how many hits we got from google" ;) Of course, if I google to search CC, other sites that also would like to sell me cruises are able to find my eyeballs, so maybe the CC search will become operational again, if only to captivate my eyeballs exclusively:p
