JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

It's searching in general that's broken.
You aren't actually searching the live forums, you're searching an index that's weeks behind.

e: seems like we're stuck on July 6th right now, so most posts past that date won't show up in search (some still do, because the forums work in mysterious ways)

Same with having mp4s not displaying when people inevitably use [timg] tabs.
Not sure if this is related, but something weird is going on with mp4 links.
Take this post in the Steam thread for example:
https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?action=showpost&postid=514781608

If you quote the post, you see that it only contains links to mp4 files:

But the forums turn it into this:


The .webm link is never valid and only returns a 404 error message. Playback still works because the first video source is valid, but this still seems wrong.

That's already a forum feature, but your browser is probably blocking it with some tracking protection setting.
