Is there something wrong with the "Search the Community"? It seems everything I put in to search comes up with 0. Including things like Santa Fe. It has alway's worked without any problems from my Macbook before. Has something cahnges that I have missed?
Thanks

It's all part of the on going problems in here. There is supposed to be a new system upgrade coming sometime this year.

Don´t even bother to search using the forum´s (non-working) search function. Use a regular search engine and add "mrr" to the keyword. This should help a little bit.
Happy times!

When I first joined I searched for everything first because I didnt want to annoy old timers by asking something that had been answered a hundred times before and in great detail. But, like you, I soon realized the search was useless. I would put in bland, vanilla terms that should have returned a ridiculous number of posts/threads and get jack squat. Hopefully the update will fix this.

Yeah, search is useless! Once I knew the name of a specific thread and search it exactly as it was and got NOTHING!
We have gotten quite used to getting duplicate threads by now! I have stopped minding!
I think the search program is supposed to use the tags you add to your posts but it doesn’t seem to work irregardless! Google the topic + MR forums and you usually get better results, just be sure they are actually the MR forums, I’ve had that meathod occasionally lead me to the “other” forums!

I'm in the same boat. Being new to the hobby and with so much to learn and absorb, I expected to rely on the search engine to do my research without duplicating prior threads. However, after viewing these forums, I get the impression that many of the experienced contributers are more than willing to offer advice anew or share a link to prior threads. I really appreciate and enjoy the camaraderie.

Late to the model railroad party but playing catch-up.....

Yep, the forum search function is presently defunct, along with a few other capabilities that have disappeared over that past few months . Hopefully it returns with the new upgrade - whenever that actually takes place.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
I use Google Chrome as a search engine, and enter cs.trains followed by the subject I am searching for.
