Hi. My category search function isn’t working. [Screen Shot 2020-05-18 at 18.57.15] The screenshot is from ‘new topic’, but it’s the same when editing a category, or moving posts between categories. (I’m not referring to newly created categories that might require a refresh, but to all of them.) …

Is there something unusual about your categories? If we can’t repro it here or on try.discourse.org that indicates it is possibly a local config problem.

Hi Jeff, I’ve tested on my phone, a different browser, a guest account, and they none of them have a working search function. If there is anything unusual about my categories, it’s unintentional. Where can I check / reset things? Thanks!

Interesting, great catch – I guess one of the categories must have the words “ads” in it? :thinking:

Actually, I was wrong, :frowning: or at least partially: It now works on some searches, like when you’re in a category and you want to find a specific sub-category. But it still doesn’t work in others. Will dive back in in a few days. I really need to spruce up some categories, but seeing how the…

The next time it happens, try to check if there’s any errors in your browser console . It’s usually a pretty good indicator.

You’re not going to believe this… :rofl: spot the difference: [Screen Shot 2020-05-20 at 18.12.48] [Screen Shot 2020-05-20 at 17.51.50] Being unable to interpret the details of Joe’s suggestion (but still: thanks!) I asked someone else to dig into that for me. Him: “But it works…” Turns out…
