Anyone else Notice that the search function is completely broken ... as in returning no results whatsoever.

I have used the following terms

Valiant
Valiant for Michael 4
Valiant for M4
Pretty 3d

No results whatsoever.

And yes a Ticket has been filed.

    Hi there,

    Have to say, that the Daz Store Search Engine is far from working good. If I write NBM for example I get some suggestions but when choosing one the result is zero, doesn`t matter what suggestion I choose. Same with other Keywords, also Victoria 4 or 4.2 get no result.

    The search function has been messed up since the beginning. I personally hope they get it fixed sooner rather than later. Usually I can search vendor names just fine but if I try to do a keyword or specific packs it don't always work.

    It wasn't perfect, but I could get reasonable results. After that little maintenance update with the whole Cloud thing, it's completely broken.

    In case you have not tried in awhile it looks to be fixed now. Working for me anyway.

    Still broken.

    Typed in Valiant. No results.

    Even clicked on related terms and No Results.

    That works for me - Valiant for Genesis, Valiant and Poker Face(?) are returned.

    It wasn't working for me either the past few days.

    Just tried it again and it is working now for me. :ohh:

    Thank you for filing the ticket Lilliana.

    Hi, the search engine has not been functioning for me for the past week or so.
    Any word I type in I get a reply stating that there are no matches to my criteria.
    Angels
    Wings
    Demons
    armour
    It's broke. Let me know when it's fixed, for now I'll shop at Renderosity.

    hmm. So is everyone now under the impression that it is fixed for everyone?

    Is the store search "officially" working right now?

    The store search stopped working for me during monday 25th of february afternoon GMT +1.

    I tried with IE and google chrome on win8 64 bit.
    Also tried on my win7 smart phone with no luck.

    - - -

    I first noticed that when I tried to search for specific Aiko content product pages.

    If I enter any product names no search results are found.

    Examples:
    wasteland, michael, sword, aiko

    When I enter victoria the browser immediately links to the victoria 5 pro bundle.
    Everything else yields no results. clicking on the suggested search terms also yields no results.

    Well, not working for me. 'Troll' has left the building.

    It is not working for me either using IE9 on Win7.

    I can't get any results at all for anything.

    EDIT:

    I just cleared my cache in IE9, and it still doen;t work. It doesn't work in Firefox or Opera either.

    Rather than beep
    Or a rude error message:
    These words: "File Not Found".

    or

    Yesterday it worked.
    Today it is not working.
    This store is like that.

    In other words: I tried this morning (my morning, 7 hours ago) and it worked, I got three hits for Valiant. It does not work now.
    Does it work only in Daz' night hours?

    It's a good thing that DAZ doesn't rely on the web for it's business... ;)

    Can they not just leave the site alone so that they don't keep breaking it?

    Searching for Aiko:

    Search results for 'aiko'
    Your search returns no results.


    Search results for 'Vicky'
    Your search returns no results.

    Victoria brings up the Victoria 5 page, but not really search results.

    Makes you wonder what they've broken in places you can't see. I've been using the search to help categorize some older content that I installed with the install manager, but it's hard without a working search:)

    Seems to be working again at the moment.

    Working for me now too.

    Still one strange thing, I type 'victoria' into the search box, and it takes me straight to the Victoria 5 Pro Bundle product page. That was what it did before the present fix anyway. Other queries do seem to work properly though, which returned nothing before.

    Wow, the search function is now working. All queries get a list of matches.
    Very strange. I do hope it stays fixed.

    It's working? LOL Hah hah heh hee hee

    I typed in troll and hit enter.

    Search returned no results

    So I clicked on the phrase 'Troll for Genesis'

    and got

    one item.....


    Gairbaldi Express Hair System for DAZ Studio.

    Yeah, it's working. Sure.

    Yes, if you want to be generous with the word "working"...

    Searching for "look at my hair" brings up only Garibaldi Express.

    It only seems to work during the hours of daylight.

    No luck for me at the moment, for what it's worth.

    Since this issue seems to be appearing and disappearing could it be the Cloud Flare cacheing service? Some of the Cloud Flare servers could still have the old pages? Just speculating, and if it is that, could clearing the Cloud Flare cache for the site be possible or will that slow the site down before the site is fully cached again?
