Search options
« on: Monday 01 November 04 12:01 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

This looks like a nice site (I'm new here). Just have one suggestion - it would help if the Advanced Search options allowed 'whole word only' searches and the exclusion of unwanted strings. I'm looking for the names Plumb and Plumbe, but I'm getting a lot of plumbers at the moment!

Also I'm not able to access pages 2, 3, ... of the search results for some reason.

I've set it now so it looks for whole words - thanks for bringing it to my attention.

The Page 2,3 problem etc - a few other people have reposrted this problem too - check that "cookies" aren't being blocked, and that you are logged in.

To test is cookies are being blocked or not, try this test:

(If they are getting blocked, it will tell you it's gone pear shaped)

Hi Trystan,

I have the same trouble on the search as well, can access page 1 but 2,3.............I can't access. I have done the cookie test and it said that cookies accepted, but I still can't access the next page.

Hi Trystan

I have also done the cookie test and am logged in.  I still can't access page 2 or 3.

I think I might have fixed the problem where you can't see page 2,3,4 etc.. when you do a seach (I can't test it becasue my browser was ok with it). Has it fixed the problem?

Nope...

The number of pages are shown ie [1] 2 3 etc
Page 1 is in view, but if you hover over 2 or 3 with the cursor, it remains as an arrow. It doesn't change to a pointing finger to enable selection of the following pages.

Hope this helps!
