Topic: Why forum search taking years to load - page 2. (Read 474 times)
You can do a site specific google search to limit your results to only bitcointalk.org. Google has a great portion of the forum indexed so it is not hard to find information you are looking for. I use it often when I need to find old posts or for finding specific information about a website or project.
I was looking for a list of users who have used the word "sir" to address other forum members. I never got the search result and it's always loading. I have waited for a long time but it never gets ended. Is it because the query has a lot of results or something? Don't ask me why I was looking for this query. I was trying to write a sarcastic reply but wanted to be sure before I write it lol.
Does it have something to do with this thread: How to get a Rank promoted Can?Or you can use TryNinja's Ninjastic.space: https://ninjastic.space/search
I am sure you have heard of this search engine before.
Yes, a ninjastic tool would really help the OP find the word or sentence he wants. In fact, he can also find out how many people have used the word "sir" since the tool was created by Tryninja. I rarely use forum search features to find anything faster including bitcoin addresses or even something like that. So ninjastic.space has been helping me all along. Credit to Tryninja for providing such a great tool to this community. I am sure you have heard of this search engine before.
ask @LoyceV he is good at finding such things.

More the results the time taken for the results will be longer on forum search engine in my opinion, it will be taking atleast 10 to 20 seconds with exact keywords in a thread so imagine how long it will be if we search the whole forum for single keyword. We all know the forum is not really modern and having all the features that is why the new forum software is in progress until that we can use the alternative ways as mentioned above.

While the forum search feature is not the best around, you can customize it a little to show you better results. For example, you can filter out results based on post's age. Message age is set at 0 to 9999 days by default, so it searches through the entire history of forum. You might want to change it to 0 to 30, for example, and you will get posts within the last month.

We have already concluded that the search option on the forum is not exactly the ideal search method, especially if you are searching the entire forum for a keyword. I have often encountered that instead of the results, I only get some kind of error page, or that I get a blank page with no results that appear after I reload the page. I couldn't find a topic where we discussed this, but in general the advice is to use a search outside the forum.
