Software update

[prémont]

Can others check the Search function (the search box at the top right of the page) and report back.

It works well for me.

The search box in the top right doesn't work for me if "this topic" is selected, I have no results for e.g. "Search" in this topic, "Mozart" in the listening thread. However, If I have "Entire Forum" selected, then I get results ok.

On the other hand, if I go through the "main" Search button in the toolbar (Next to the home button) and make a search for "Search" in GMG News only, I do get results with the relevant posts of this thread.

I just tried a couple of searches.  I clicked on "Entire Forum" and searched for Penderecki and that worked fine (brought up his name in various threads throughout the forum.  I then did a search just within the Composer section and that also worked fine.

I'll try a couple more.

Yes, it's the same for me, choosing "this topic" doesn't give any results, but the other options work perfect.

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Same results as premont (as in searching "this topic" does not yield any results).  I tried various topics like the new purchases today one or what are you listening to now.  I also tried Bach and the Christmas music one too.

What words did you try? I tried about a dozen searches within specific threads

I don't recall now but they were all words that I first confirmed were in this thread. I did a This Thread search and it returned nothing.

What words did you try? I tried about a dozen searches within specific threads and boards.

Examples:
"Orfeo" on the opera thread
"Putin" in the Diner section
"Richter" on the Great Recordings and Reviews board
"vinyl" on the entire forum
"arpeggio" on the Composing and Performing board
"Thelonious" on the Jazz board
"Goedicke" on the "What are you listening to now" thread for something a bit more esotieric

In all cases, results returned in less than 1 second and all seemed highly relevant and restricted to the forum/board or thread I specified.

Can others check the Search function (the search box at the top right of the page) and report back.

In this thread, whatever word I used that was in the posts, the Search function returned nothing.

Looks like the difference in being able to get search results is between general boards like "The Jazz Lounge" or "Opera and Vocal" and trying to search on specific threads (as in topics) [or am I using the computer lingo incorrectly here?].

OK, using the search box at the top right of this page, I did a search using the term "lingo" for

1. This topic - no results
2. This board - quickly yielded correct results
3. Entire Forum - quickly yielded correct results

So, @Dungeon Master - it is only "This topic" searches that is not working. I can also confirm that "This topis" searches are not working in the Diner, nor the Music Room threads.

Thanks again for your hard work. The search works so fast now, so it will be great to have it fully functioning.

Doesn't work for me

[Dungeon Master]

Weird, because its working perfectly for me. See attached screenshot of searching for "search" in This Topic.

I will investigate further.

Good luch in your search! 

[Spotted Horses]

FWIW, I see the same behavior that some others have reported. When I use the top banner to search "This Topic" for term that I plainly see in the topic no results are returned. But if I search "This Board" I get results, including for this topic.

Just did a search for "Martinu," choosing the Composers section, and then for "Brazil" on the entire board, and both worked perfectly. Also, both were significantly faster than searches on the former board. Just FWIW.

Hi Bruce,

Did you try a search in this topic? That's the one that isn't working for most of us.

[bhodges]

Ah, I see. I was using the Search box on the left side, next to the Home button. For some reason, it seems to work better!

I have two requests for tweaks/enhancements...

1. It would be nice if the Quick Reply panel could be disabled, on a per-user basis.

I did read that it was possible to hide the Quick Reply (see https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Quick_reply)

The option to hide Quick Reply was removed in 2.1. I do not know why. The wiki is out of date.

Regarding emoticons, is there another theme option, Rob? The current one is hard to differentiate between a half dozen of them, on my phone at least.

You can now choose from a variety of smilies in your Profile. none of the choices are great, I'm afraid.

What's the difference between 'Quick Reply' and 'Reply' please? (no sarcastic responses  )
