Is there really a problem with Mylot Discussion search engine or is it just my computer or me? I've been using Mylot discussion and I know how this works but lately, I noticed that it's not showing any results under Discussions tab. It will usually say Zero results if there's no result at all but all I'm seeing now is a blank result page with the google ads on it. So what I was doing was search under Web category and add the word mylot to it so I could see related posts and topics in Mylot. Your thoughts my friends. Thanks!

Hi yes there is a problem but Alice has told us that if you type mylot + topic ( eg mylot + world cup) that will bring up the discussions, it does work, I use it now

Yes , I have been facing the same problem since morning. It was working fine till yesterday. I think they are doing some routine impermanence or may be they trying to make a change in a better way. I am not sure though !lol . I am new out here , so could you please help me how can i find the related search ? previously it displayed directly now i have to find it after all the web category. Is there any way i can find it directly like the way it was earlier ?

It appears you are correct! I just tried it out of curiosity and it seems the web searches are working just fine but when you do a discussion search nothing comes up!

Yes, the discussion search has not been working for a few days. Alice already informed us through other discussion that she is aware of it and already got someone working on it. @_Honey_, You are doing the right thing. You can use the web search with keyword 'MyLot+keyword' to search for discussion. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2338916.aspx

Well I also experience this. There are times that when you are searching something here, It will simply says no match found, wherein you are pretty much sure that there should be something that search engine should find. Well just maybe Mylot is still upgrading.

Yes i also seem to have some problems using Mylot search engine. Since however now that we have raised our voices Mylot would do something about it so that these tasks get resolved fast.

you may try changing your keywords. search engine works like a word matcher. you enter words then the engine find matches of the words you type. also, try not to use linking words such as in, of, and, the & etc
