I set it to zeta once and chose classic display.

I see messages too now and then, but then they are gone again for days at a time.

At all? Searching for your own or a specific member's posts?

Same as I asked Meddly are these any searches or specific ones?

Specific members...also, from Anyone to Anyone, from three months to today or from yesterday to today.

gunter managed to fix it when I complained but today it went back to "not working" at all.

Search seems completely out there. Zeta, Classic, specifics, non specifics... searching for keywords... nada

***Editing in - this is just a work around I found useful, please continue to report any malfunctions here! Obviously there seems to be a search bug. Thanks!

 

Searching with Zeta used to get results when Classic search was out - not sure if that would be true in your case. You do not have to reset the forum though just go to your start page and in the address bar replace /start with /zeta after the webtag

Click on the search icon that shows a plus sign as well

Quick search is only one month back and searches for keywords.

Usually, I search for posts to myself, but when I noticed it first I searched also for any postings in my forum and I found none although there had been perhaps fifty that day.

Yes, that worked. Zeta is so … unpleasant and visually confusing though.

Finally the search option worked at the forum where I dwell.

Merci, Gracias, Danke...

So when Search is out - it is out completely.
