Search feature broken on this Forum!

When I use the search text box on the Director Support Forums
homepage I get:
The web site you are accessing has experienced an unexpected
error.
Please contact the website administrator.
The following information is meant for the website developer
for debugging purposes.
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Variable FTVAR_RESULTTYPE is undefined.
This doesn't occur if I use the 'Advanced' search option. Can
we fix this please?

I get that error using the quick search. The advanced search
works but I've never found what I'm looking for by using it. I
usually stick to a
google
search restricted by site.

Forum Search Feature Broken

Since Monday, when I use the Search feature, I get the following result:
The page caused an ESI processing exception.
I would have searched to see if others are having the problem, but the search feature is broken. :)

This happens with search This Forum. However, it seems to be ok when I choose All Forums.

IE-11 Image Search Feature Broken

I've used Google as my default search engine with IE for years. When I search for images of plants, I have it set to load 100 images per page. If I click on an image a few screens down from the top of the page, a larger image opens for
preview and provides the option to go to that site. However, a few days ago, that behavior changed. Now when I click on an image, it jumps me to the top of the page and I have to scroll back down to the original location. Cleaning up
temp files, etc. did not help. I also tried resetting the browser to original, and then did a system restore to a date prior to the problem. All failed to resolve the issue. However, when I installed Google's browser for a test, the
problem was resolved. Any ideas to fix?

Your question is off-topic here. If there is a web page that lead you to here, tell its author that the instruction is wrong. To report a Google search
results page that doesn't look right in Internet Explorer, visit https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/3425345?&ref_topic=3285072#ts=3502652.
This forum is for helping web developers in writing better web sites for Internet Explorer. Looks like Google needs some help here, not you.
Note one web site work in one browser but not another does not mean the browser is at fault. For example, the Windows Update site does not work in Chrome or Firefox because the web site's server side does browser detection and refuse to work with these browsers.
Google has similar policies for certain version of Internet Explorer. Search "Google internet explorer support" for Google's support policies for Internet Explorer.

Apple TV search features broken

Used to be on a search under movies your could search and the search would only return movies. If you wanted to search for music you would start in the music and then search. Now when I select moves and search i get everything, music and movies. That is stupid. For instance start under movies, search for Frank Sinatra. Not one of his movies will come up, but 96 of his albums will. How do we get Apple to put this back the way it was before. Used to work just fine. If I am wanting to watch a movie I don't want a list of albums to come up.

it's a discontinued product so you would have to do it yourself from scratch unless you found a defect device to use parts from
I would say it was and I would say a quick google would provide some step by step dis asm of the appletv 1g thats how I discovered it had a fan inside
people also tried to put SSD disks in to replace the hd so those guides would help you too

Search feature of this forum

Anybody else notice how extremely bad the search "feature" of
this forum is? I type in one or two word phrases (such as
cfdocument align) and it almost always returns zero results
(probably 95% of the time, the other 5% are usually nothing helpful
or remotely related either). So either nobody has ever typed the
word cfdocument or align in this forum, or the search feature just
plain sucks.
Just had to vent....

Below is info from the Help/Search section that may make your
searching more productive. I get plenty of hits using
cfdocument or align
but nothing on
cfdocument and align.
Hope this helps!
From the Help/Search link:
Search Tips
The Search feature of the Adobe Forums is slightly different
from some 'natural language' search engines such as Google. You can
use Boolean logic (and, or and parentheses to group sections of
your query), which will search all keywords.
Search Example: Dog or Cat not (Bird and Cow)
These keywords will try to find messages with the word Dog or
Cat, but don’t contain both the words Bird and Cow. Note- if
the keywords you're searching on include either the word 'and' or
the word 'or', you may want to remove those words from the search
term so your search is not unnecessarily restricted.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS FORUM'S SEARCH???

Every time I search for anything in this forum's search field I get 0 results.
It doesn't matter how broad I make the search category.
What gives?

Yup, Adobe's forums are some of the ABSOLUTE worst I've ever come across.
The search bug is to do with the time limit on age. By default it limits results to those for the past 90 days, except that it's obviously broken as it filters out EVERYTHING. Remove any time filter and you'll get search results.
Very poor forums, very poor.
I tried setting the search date from 90 days to All and still got 0 results.

Difficulty searching this forum

Is anyone having difficulty searching for results in this forum? It seems that every time I try to do so, I get the following error:
The page caused an ESI processing exception.
Frustrating because I'm sure that most of the questions that I ask have been asked before. Any fixes or work arounds would be greatly appreciated.

Same here :(
Since this is 'data' and Oracles all about searching on 'data' this looks bad.

Is there a way to search this forum???

i want to search for specific topics but don't see any search button on this page... is there a way to do it without scrolling through every page looking for a particular topic?

This forum definitely needs a search feature!
And, my God, there are so many new threads being posted that all the "old" ones (i.e. 2 minutes old) get shoved behind the back pages!

The ipad safari on facebook will echo characters on the search feature. Please fix this STUPID error! At the least, investigate it and come to a suitable response. Stupid things like this are making me lose faith and interest in Apple products.

This is a user Forum, No one here works for Apple.
If you can be a bit more clear with what your problem is, maybe someone here can help you find a solution.

Can't find search function for this forum?

Am I blind or something, or is this site working as well as soundtrack pro? Where is the search bar?

I agree!
I've just joined this forum to look for specific answers, and searching is the first and +most necessary+ thing I want to do...
How is not having this feature improving the performance of the forum? Is the hope that Apple will put vast numbers of users off by being annoyingly non-functional and nonsensical?!!

DM uninstall - searched this forum, tried everything!

I have searched everything on this forum and everything I could find on the internet. I am running Vista and I cannot get rid of the stupid DM software. Everytime I log into one of my user accounts (not all) I get an installer notification "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the Blackberry Desktop Software 4.6 disk and click OK." The program does show up in my Windows Installer (DM 4.6) again, only for this one account, but when I try to unistall it, I get the same garbage message.
There are very specific instructions on this forum and many other places, and I think I have tried them all. I have searched the registry and found no evidence of any remnants to this program. I have tried to reinstall the software and unistall again. I have tried every registry cleaner I can find. Still, I get the same message.
I really don't want to reinstall my OS for this stupid application, since other than the annoyance, I see no evidence of another problem. I guess I could grin and bare it, but I don't think I should have to. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
If you have the CD go to add/remove programs in Vista and try to repair the installation.
Be sure to have the full Admin rights. Then we can remove it cleanly.
Did you install Media manager as well? There are some Roxio KB's as well.
I think you want to read KB1720 first the Windows Installer problem.
Otherwise I think the installation was not done with the correct UAC admin rights.
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks,
Bifocals

Is the forum search engine broken?

Is it just me or is the search engine in this forum broken? I have tried to search for "Java","System","PrintService" etc. I everytime I get 0 results...

"Broken"? No. "Not very good"? That's a fair description.
Maybe the problem is your search. Have you tried different combinations?
Take "Java" out of the search. This IS a Java forum, after all.
What does "PrintService" bring back on its own?
