Is the Search for Topics disabled?

Asked by AdventureElephants (1412points) January 11th, 2016 from iPhone

I just attempted to find more questions for “Bowie” “Ziggy” and “Stardust.”

All came up as no results, yet those words were used as Topic words in the raise a glass to David question from yesterday. Shouldn’t that give me a hit?

They are in the frizzer under the pool and good luck trying to find them.

You used the search bar, I presume? It seems like the search option does not work on one of our servers. It still works intermittently, but can’t be trusted. Using google’s option of searching on specific sites is a good alternative.

If you click on a topic, however, you will still see all questions containing that topic. There are four tagged as “David Bowie”, none about “Ziggy Stardust”.

The search bar is a long long broken feature. It only works for some people, for example me. But even so the page can’t be scrolled down so it’s pretty much useless on a whole.

I don’t believe that the search feature was ever updated to work with mobile applications. Here’s what my desktop listed for “Bowie”:
