Whenever I try to search for past/old topics using the search bar,An error keeps popping up.It has been the case for several days now.!

Kindly try to fix it :-)

It works fine here, could you tell what the error says?

[Ryan]

Instead of just coming here and saying search doesn't work, you should explain what you're doing that's causing it not to work. And it's working fine for me, so it's likely that you're just not using it right.

Just a second..

The following are a few examples of the error

Example1.


The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?act=Sea...e=game+informer. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

Example 2(with a different search word):


Server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?act=Sea...railer+analysis. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.



I've tried this not only in the V section,but also in the other sections too!

You're using the search function incorrectly. "game+informer" is not a valid query. It should be "+game +informer"

See this topic on how to use the search function properly.

^But some time back,I used to find results based on this 'type' of function.

Anyways,I'll try and use the method that you've given me a link with.

What's the word you're typing for? Some words could make a problem when searching the page.

[Ferocious Banger]

^Try searching for that analysis thread.

Thanks for the report - you shouldn't be receiving a 500 error regardless of how you use the system. We're working to find the issue now.

I was getting this error about 1 month ago. I created a topic, but only Miromiro took care about this .

Otherwise: Does the web browser in use make a difference or have a effect when searching? (Chrome/firefox/IE8 or 9?)

[kmlwin.1996]

Nope. I think the forum system runs in one way.
