When I attempt to search on more than one word I get a message that there appears to be a problem with the database.

Hi smokegrub,

 

Please try again.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Tried it this morning and now it does not work at all. I simply get the message that it is not found.

I found "head around" and "fuzzy math" just now.

 

What is the search argument and what is being searched?

I just tried "camera" and "door sensors" (w/o quotation marks) in Forums. No Results Found for either.

I just tried "door sensors" which found several hits including your post.

 

Perhaps the Search is not set to Forums.

Here is the first hit on "door sensors"

 

It is set on Forums and says Search Function is not Working when I do a search of any kind.

Can you screen capture with the search argument entered but not yet clicked on Green search Icon.

I did a screen shot with my Mac and attempted to paste it here. I got the message: You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community.

 

Forums is highlighted on the screen shot and the text is door sensors.

smokegrub-

 

First, try changing your screen cap to a jpg file.  Open it in Preview and save as a jpg.  Then you can post the jpg.

 

I have changed my default screen cap to jpg as it saves me a step of converting.  To do that:

 

You can change the default file type for screen captures by using a terminal command. Every installation of Mac OS X includes the Terminal application in Applications > Utilities. Most major image formats are supported including PNG, PDF, GIF, TIFF, and JPG, we’ll go with JPG since that is a common type of web graphic:

 

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg

 

Then you must kill the SystemUIServer for changes to take effect:

 

killall SystemUIServer

 

Screen captures will now be saved as JPG files. To change back to PNG, just run through the process again setting 'png' as your type in the first Terminal command.

 

Hope this helps.

It inexplicably started working. Go figure!
