    I am unable to get consistent search results with this new forum.  I was looking for a specific post that delt with preventing users from launching an application more than  once in Windows.  Once I was able to get it to show a few threads, but from  then on, regardless of what I searched for, it found nothing.

    I was unable to get any hits, regardless of the keywords I used. Then I noticed the top 5 threads to the right of the screen and saw that one contained the word  return.  I tried a search on that and the search engine returned 0 hits.

    Which page are you searching from? (URL?) Which search box are you using? How are you initiating the search? (key press? what are you clicking on?)

    Somre really detailed repro steps would be great. What I'm doing seems to be working as I expect, but I'd like to look into this some more.

    Thanks

    You are right. Search is not working properly. I tried by title 2-words, but it's not showing the threads....

    Also, the List/Threaded option does not change the screen.

    I'm not complaining, as I am grateful for this forum, it's just that the new format seems to have a few bugs.

    No. The forum is not working properly. It needs a "service pack".

    The “big social forum” migration left me with over 1200 points less, 1 medal less, answers less….May be this will help the forum ….

    Funny, this thread seems to have dropped from the list just after dni's reply, yet I can see it when I view my posts.

    The search still does not work.

    So annoying whenever I search, it's displaying all off Microsoft.  I'm just trying to search the Dynamics CRM forum.

    agreed.  Exact same issue with any of the 3 Dynamics CRM forums that were recently moved.
