Soinc.org Search Issues

Post by D39IJ11 »

Hi there,

I am reaching out to the community because I am experiencing some issues on soinc.org. Whenever I search up specific event names, the website encounters an unknown error. Some searches work, while others don't. For example, "green generation," would work, but "fast facts," would not. Is anyone else having a similar issue. Have they found a work around?

I just tried searching for "fast facts" and got the same unexpected error. It's strange, because searching for "fast" and "facts" individually provides the same error, but searching for "fact" by itself doesn't do it. I guess it's just an issue with particular words.

Instead of using soinc.org's search (which isn't very good), try searching Google using ["fast facts" site:soinc.org] instead. Type everything enclosed in the brackets but not including the brackets. By enclosing "fast facts" in quotes it will search for that specific phrase, and by including site:soinc.org it will exclusively search soinc.org. Hope this helps!

I have the same error, and I don't think refreshing helps. It is probably a server wide issue, so jaspattack's idea should help!
