Trouble using search to find previous posts

[Juels]

Is anyone else having trouble when searching posts in this group? For example, I was trying to find a post that I knew had suicide in the topic. I tried searching both ways - only topics and entire post. Neither produce the post as a result. I finally found it by using a Google search.

Could I be doing something wrong? Is it a browser issue?

I apologize if there is already a post covering this topic. I did try searching for one. :)

If it helps, here is the post I was searching: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Yes, the search function is working at only most minimal level. It's not you, it's the site.

Thank you. Do you know if there is any planned maintenance to correct it?

"Search Discussion Posts" appears to be working...

Note: This feature is only available on the full Desktop Website and the Mobile Website - not the App.

I was using the full desktop website and it isn't fully functional for me. Still not finding the post referenced above.

It appears that selecting "only topics" (for a narrower search) isn't working for "Search discussion posts" in this group... However, searching the "entire post" returns the thread you mentioned above.

So, it has been partially fixed.

It's working better (giving more results), but still not completely fixed. I know certain threads exist but it isn't finding them.

Thank you for confirming. Good to know I'm not completely crazy.
