The search function is not limited to posts on this board, and it probably should be.

If I want info beyond this board I go to google.

Please limit searches to posts only, or keep the current one and add another one whose scope is limited to posts.

It looks like the only posts not on WoV that get returned are ads, and they (a) always appear first, and (b) are clearly marked "Ad".

The search function did not work for iPhones for a long time. Recently the text box to enter search terms now appears. However, the returned results can’t be scrolled and only the first one or two ads are shown. I have given up mentioning problems due to the spotty nature of having the submissions lead to solutions. To get what you want, act outside of this site. Enter your Google search terms in a browser followed by “site:wizzardofvegas.com” (without quotes) and the results will be limited to this web site. Without ads.

The WoV search function isn't working at all for me. It just gives a blank search results page except for the word "loading."

I've been seeing exactly the same problem for about 3 hours now.

I'll forward a report to the techs. If anyone has anything to add, please do it in this thread.

I'm on an Android phone using Google Chrome.

I'm using Google Chrome in Windows 10. It definitely appears to be a server-side issue.

It was. The search server was not responding, but it's fixed now.

From the browser, I searched "wizardofvegas.com" and whatever I was interested in searching.

It's been SNAFU for me every time I tried it today... including the last minute or so.

Well, nuts.

Edit. Just now tried the same thing I did yesterday, when it failed.

It worked perfectly. Had results in about 1.5 seconds.

What exactly is it doing wrong?

Hmmmm. PEBKAC
Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair

or The problem is caused by the nut that holds the keyboard.

I was just searching for stuff that wasn't there to be found, so no results. I get results now.

There used to be an issue where we could not page through results on low res mobile friendly layouts. I don't know if that ever got looked at.

Is the "Search" function working for anyone on WOV?
All I get when trying to search for a keyword is

loading...

I don't ever bother using it usually, it seems to be absolutely worthless any time I tried using it. After a while, you just give up on even trying.

While the search function on this site is not great, it literally is not working right now (for me at least).

Loading still loading.

Perhaps add a few links to casino bonuses while we are waiting.

Smart business owners maximize every opportunity.

After all, idiots searching for anything deserve to be F’D by shady off (American) shore casino operators hiding (legally, at least legal in the 3rd “shitholes” ) behind their T&C’s.

Or in other words, who wouldn’t want “Up to $15,000” in free bets?

Maybe repeating what's already been said, but when I search for anything that comes up multi page, eg
"thousand words"
https://wizardofvegas.com/search-results/search-results-index.php?search_query=%22thousand%20words%22
clicking on the arrows or page numbers at the bottom to scroll through the results does nothing. Hyperlinks don't work. I stay on page 1 of results.
