Title: Newbies, Here's how to use the search box properly. It's trickier than you think
Post by: Porn Star on July 21, 2013, 10:46 pm
If you're reading a thread and type something in the search box, it will only search that thread. If you want to search the whole forum, then go to the forum home page and do your search from there.
This one got me for a while here. I was searching for things and not finding answers. Now I'm a search pro and you are too. SR ROCKS!!

i've found the search function to be pretty useless. also it's extremely annoying to have that message 'your last search was less than 5 seconds ago'... when it wasn't! normally i would always use google to search forums but in case of sr forum it's not a possibility

You get that notification a lot because you're using Tor. There aren't many exit nodes on Tor, so you're probably using the same one as a few other people who are using the forums. Pretty fucking annoying, but it can't be helped...

lol you're completely wrong. sr forum is a hidden service. exit nodes have nothing to do hidden services. the web server always thinks the ip is 127.0.0.1. perhaps that is the problem i don't really know

once I searched something and found a lot of relevant results but then I guess I searched when within a thread the next time and thought I was losing my mind

Yep I find that quite annoying to, I also find a similar issue when making posts. Good to know its not just me, thought I was going crazy for a moment.

"The last posting from your IP was less than 0 seconds ago. Please try again later."
