Search Timeout

"Searches in large forums or over a long date range can take a while to complete. In some cases the search may timeout before it has completed. If this occurs please try restricting your search to a shorter date span or to fewer forums." you mean you don't know if there were no results or if it timed out? cmon this sucks guys. how is the user supposed to guess which one it is? and it's a pain in ass to get to the search message boards page. swine

If a database call times out then no, we don't get anything from the database. I really wish there was a message from SQL along the lines of "We found something, but it was buried really deep under the pile of old clothes in the corner and it took too long to get it so we gave up and had a beer". But it doesn't. It just tells us that it looked and looked and looked and before it was done looking the time was up.

Every single page has the Search bar at the top. Type your search, select Messages, and go.

That explains the pic of Bob with the cat-ate-the-canary look holding a beer and a wrench :)
