Search feature MIA?

Figuring out the new forum format and maybe it’s just me, but I can’t for the life of me find where the search option is? I tried Google search (I’m looking for threads of a specific topic) but even when navigating to COTH from the Google search hyperlinks, it only went to the forum home page

It was turned off for a bit because it was slowing us down. I am not sure if it is back up yet.

If I understood this right, the search function has a glitch and was one main reason all was so slow.
It was disabled until they can fix it so it doesn’t cause trouble.

If you post what information you are after, maybe someone can help you with the proper link to that?

I hear you on trying to navigate a whole new and right now glitchy format, ugh.
I hear that annoying situation happens regularly when starting a new platform.
“They” are working furiously to fix it all.
They can tweak any function posters don’t like or want improved, eventually, so all are back in business as usual.

When search is back it is here (screen shot of the instructions on the below linked thread).

There are lots of useful tips in this thread that Simkie made:

There is a search box under https://forum.chronofhorse.com/ -> All Categories …

ETA: oh I get it. that is a search through the names of the categories.

The magnifying glass at the top is there for me now, and it did work for a simple search for ‘Saddle’ this morning.

Or wait, now it’s not? Maybe my browser had an old page cached that still showed it. Anyway if you want to try to search it’s (unsurprisingly) https://forum.chronofhorse.com/search however I’m guessing they have turned off the indexing to fix the slowness so it may not find everything.
