Classifieds having issues

I seem to be having issues with the classifieds, I tried searching for 1998-2002 Pontiac Trans Am, only other option was for the color as black. No results pop up. So I tried it with any color (left that box empty) nothing showed up again. I tried using the keyword 'Procharger' no posts in the last 30 days AGAIN ![MAD](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_mad.gif)
But for some reason once when I tried it again with the black color option, it showed up a list of every car FS in that forum, so at least I got something. It just didn't produce what I asked it to
Help?

We had an issue like this months ago with Robb. It turned out he was able to do it just fine because of his usergroup permissions. I provided him with a screenshot of what I and the rest of the members saw and he corrected it. It seems to be doing the same thing as before. Had this issue yesterday as well

Still having the issue presently. I notice on mine that the Tr in Trans Am are also unusually close together.

I tested with a user in your user group (which the user group you're in represents the majority of the members). I was unable to duplicate the issue with the test account in your user group. I'm not seeing others reporting the issue (yet), so those two things makes it appear that it might not be a user group issue.
I'll look more into it. But what browser are you using?

*sigh* same issue. Just brought a family member in the room to watch me do the search and make sure I wasn't insane or stupid and missing something (even though I do the searching just about everyday)
Come to think about it I did upgrade my browser to the new Firefox 4 Beta but it worked before though. Hmmmm...

I can confirm the issue and verify there's something wrong with the Search. In the above examples, for the option "LS Engine?" you all have selected "Has LS Engine". In FireFox, this option does not appear to be working as desired. When I use Google Chrome browser, the LS Engine? is defaulted to "Has LS Engine" (as you guys show) and suddenly no search works with that option selected.
There's definitely an issue with that search box and it appears it may be with the LS Engine field option as it's not working as intended and it appears to be breaking the search.
Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks everyone, thanks Jeremy.
We definitely agree there is something going on. I don't think we've changed anything on the site, which is a bit confusing. We'll get the tech team in to look at things today, our apologies for the inconvenience.
cheers,

it would appear that someone changed some of the configuration options. For what reason, I have no idea.
Can you let me know if the problem has been fixed?

Ok so at first it wasn't working. I noticed the "Has LS engine?" drop down box was changed to bullet point radio **** style buttons. I got no results. I tried erasing black in the box where you type the color. Got 3 results of a white car, an MRM colored car, and something else I can't remember. I was mildly annoyed and then noticed the "more options" feature. I clicked that and tinkered with it and got some results though I don't think it was perfect as evidenced by the following screenshot. My suggestion for you guys is to delete the option for people to type in the color name they want and go with the drop down list with an 'other' option for colors that aren't part of the list. That way there's not two conflicting options to sort by color and it cleans things up a bit. I would also just make the 'Extra search options' a standard part of the search. And while you're at it, just to make it easier on users so they dont have to search twice or for those who don't care, I'd add an 'Either' option for the transmission choice. I would also try to find a way to either eliminate the option to type the engine you want or combine the two somehow (I have no idea how you would do that) It just seems kinda like an option that repeats itself, like the color choice one. I got black Trans Ams primarily for my search but also got a few others mixed in as well, not sure what that is all about?

Definitely better, much better results as well. Only 1 thing I've noticed (don't hate me lol) is that now there are two color choice options. If I input 'black' into the box where you type it, I get this result:

If I select if from the drop down however, I get this

With other tinkering around with it it seems to completely ignore whatever you put into the typed-area box and only go with the drop down menu. I'd just delete the first one as to avoid confusion for people who don't know.
Other than that, everything looks great! Thanks guys![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
Oh and one other thing. I also noticed that not all of the entries for black are black cars. You'll notice in the screenshot there are 2 red cars, 2 white cars and 1 silver car. Not sure what that was about, just thought I'd point it out. Thanks!
