Search Feature in Groups Not Working

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Something's on the fritz with the search feature in our groups. Last night I was trying to search Food Group discussions for the Recall discussion, and when I entered "recall", I got three discussions, none of them the right one. Plus I know that there are at least 50 discussions in TFG in which the word "recall" is mentioned. Then I tried searching by "Most Popular", and I got the most popular discussions (i.e. most replies) in the Main Forum, not the FG discussions. I tried searching "discussions" in a few other random groups, and had the same problem.

I think this is something that only Ning is going to be able to fix.

It appears the Search feature isn't working for anything else, either. Members, Photos, etc. Put in a search term you know is common, and see how many "responses" you get. I just entered "boots" in the Photo search and none of my photos came up, although I have two with the word "boots" in the title, and in the tags.
In the members section, I entered Chicago, and got zero responses. Same with some common names.

I typed in Spud. I got two hits. One was an older post.

[BG and Gavin]

Same thing happened for me when I was searching for photos last night. Zero responses to two different tags which I know I have used.

The search is also not working in the discussions.

Ha ha, I guess mats are no longer a doodle problem! Thank goodness. I went to the grooming group and typed in matting, mats, mat, brushing, tangles and got NO discussions. Hey, Joanne, we no longer have any grooming issues to discuss.

:) Nancy, it's a true miracle.

Ned obviously did not get the memo on this one! He was very matted last night and we spent about and hour brush/combing him for the big picture with Santa today.

Oh Boy!!! I'm going to search in the Training Group and see if all my training problems have been resolved too!! This is great news!!

[Clifford, Cloud, Jake..and Kim]

I joined the training group at the right time - all training issues have been resolved! I can't wait to go for our next walk.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Poof!!! Clancy now walks well on-leash, sits and stays on command!! It is a good thing this miracle happened today because he is going to get his picture taken with Santa.

This explains why I couldn't find anything about flea and tick preventative in my searches this morning. Oddly, one of the DK discussions came up on a google search but when I tried to search inside DK it came up with zero responses. I was trying to decide if we should give the flea/tick preventative all year in Michigan before I go stock up on a batch for Little Dood Finn.

Yesterday I was searching for members and many of them don't exist either : )
