I can only indirectly search the forum with an engine, this domain and keywords. Can I not use the search here?

    The search on lowendtalk is incredibly slow. 7 minutes sounds a bit extreme, but the "nothing happens" effect is very common.
    It's kind of fascinating that a forum that is targeting technical people and hosting providers cant make such a basic thing as a search function work, but here we are.

    Yes because I still havent been able to get an agreement with Jon regarding how we can work together, mainly because maybe he underestimated what I can bring to the table.

    Oh, that's why ColoCrossing is the slowest website ever :(

    Ignoring hardware and replicas solutions, limiting the search to the last n months might do it. Or not?

  • There's too much "spam this to enter with 0.1% chance to win" here that saturates the full text search.

    It's not so much that search took 7 minutes to complete as this time I left a tab searching while I posted my question. I searched Ryzen

    OK good to know, thank you.

    I agree that the current search implementation needs improvement.
