Trying to do a search and it always gives me an error message and says to report it to an administrator.  I am not sure where to post this, so I am going to try doing it here and hope it will catch an administrator's eye.  I want to do a poll but if I cannot search, how do I know if this poll already exists?
Someone, please, HELP!

The search function isn't working for me. It keeps asking me to report the problem to an admin.

We (the mods) are aware of the problem.  No solution as yet.

Just wanted to bump this thread up as I'm getting a error message with the search function. Is anyone else having the same problem at present or is it just me?

Same here.

Must revert to Google to search threads using this syntax: SEARCH TERMS site: http://www.bollywhat-forum.com/index.php or whatever subfolder you want to search.

Moderators, do you know if a new mod was installed right before search stopped working?  It's a database error, so it might have been caused by a change to the forum.

The Search feature is not working today - even for currently watched threads.  It says to contact "the administrator."  How do I do that?

Still not working.

Another tip someone passed on to me in the "recent films thread" - though it only helps me with looking for films.

Click on subject and the threads are in alphabetic order, which makes it easier to find film threads for movies that aren't currently being discussed.

This is very frustrating Sad I don't see a thread for the film "Anjaana Anjaani" and I can't search to make sure, either. The theatrical trailer is out and I wanted to post it! Lol

Great minds think alike -

Don't forget you can always sort topics so they're in alphabetical order

But I agree, the fact that this problem still hasn't been fixed is very frustrating

I just wanted to point out to those who may not have noticed that a forum software update seems to have solved this problem.  FYI.

I'm trying to track down a thread. I know someone posted something about Pushpak recently, but when I search using that word (or even Kamal Hassan) nothing comes up. Help!

Hmmm, I don't know.  Were you on the main Bollywhat forum page when you typed pushpak in the search box?  When I do it there, I get a list of different threads throughout the forum that mention it, and the filmfare thread is second in the list.  Maybe you were in one of the subforums when you searched?


ETA:  Now I'm wondering why I started that Pushpak thread in Filmfare and not in Beyond Bollywood.  It's a silent film, so it doesn't have a language, but it was filmed in Bangalore by a Telugu director and had a Kannada producer.  And I think the date should be 1987 instead of 1988.   Maybe it should be moved to Beyond Bollywood?
