  Hi,

  For the last 3 hours the search has not been working. No matter what search term I enter it brings back 0 results. Anyone know the problem?

  Thanks

  What search are you referring to? The search on your blog? The search on the forums?

  And it would be extremely useful to volunteers in the forum if you provided a link to your wordpress.COM blog (so that we know you are in the right forum) and/or if you linked it to your user name as explained in the sticky, 8 Things, at the top of the forums.

  Other people have mentioned it. There’s a thread a little further down the front page of the forum on this:

  Well, we DO need to know if your blog is at WordPress.COM or not, hence her request for a link. You’d be astonished at the number of people with independently-hosted blogs who are upset they’re not showing in tag and category searches here. AND you would be appalled to know the number of people who don’t know how to define their terms.

  “Blog search” doesn’t mean a whole lot to me. There is a blog search at the top of the forums. And one on the home page of wordpress.COM. I need specifics. But whatever it was, I guess it’s fixed now.
