I wonder if you guys would be willing to test my search box and see if it works for you. For me, it seems to have stopped working about a month ago. No matter what term I put in, it comes up with “No Result”.
I use it a lot to go back and find things we have done previously so its not working is quite frustrating.
I’m talking about the widget search box located in the right hand column of the blog under the Archive and above My blog list. Not every browser has that one in the upper right hand corner above the blog. I don’t for instance.
If you’ll help, just comment and let me know if you get “no result” or if you get a result from typing in “hunting island” using that search box.
Many thanks in advance
** update. so many people are saying it worked fine that I guess I really need to know what kind of computer you have, apple or PC, what version of windows if PC and what browser you are using. Firefox? IE 7, 8, 9???
I AM going to figure this out or start pulling my hair out.
Nope... it's not working. Neither is mine.
ReplyDeleteGoogle apparently has a problem.

Sorry to hear yours isn't working either. Mine has worked just fine for nearly 3 years and then poof........no more. But it appears this has been a problem for a while which ..surprise surprise....google is not paying any attention to. Contemplating switching to Word Press. Anyone want to recommend it??
DeleteIt went thru for me, beautiful sunrise pictures!!! And the kitty following David
ReplyDeleteLuci did you use the one at the top or on the right side?
DeleteTyped in "hunting island"---got the post from November. Typed in "birthday" --- got posts about birthdays. Maybe the problem went away?
ReplyDeleteHope so.
I sure wish it had Rose. Did you use the top search or the right hand side search? If it actually works for anyone that might give me a clue what's up here.
DeleteOurs hasn't been working for about a month either. I removed it. How a company like Google can have so many employees and so much money and still have problems is beyond me.

Yeah Kevin me too about Google but I'm sure their excuse is "blogger is free". I asked a reader who is quite a guru at this sort of thing and he suggested I contact their technical people. HA! He uses word press not blogger. I guess they must actually have technical people you can reach.
DeleteOh dear I think I forgot to mention that I'm talking about the widget search box that is on the right hand side beneath the archive and above my blog list. I'm not talking about the one at the top right hand corner of my blog in some folks browsers but not others.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to update this post to include that
ReplyDeleteIt worked just fine.
ReplyDeleteWow Jan. did you use the top search box or the one on the right hand side of the blog. You could be two people for whom it worked.
DeleteSherry, this problem is weird but seems to be a system problem with Blogger that is affecting a lot of blogs but it's hard to track down because it works for some folks but not for others.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I just sent you a Javascript snippet of code that you could try as a temporary workaround. Just add the code as an HTML/Javascript Gadget.
Rick and I have been emailing and I tried, after some help from him, this HTML solution but I just got a different message saying "sorry the page you are looking for in this blog does not exist". DARN!
DeleteWhen I searched "This Blog" for hunting island, "No Results" came up.
ReplyDeleteNow I need to check my blog too.
P.S. I am using Firefox on a Toshiba laptop PC.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan
DeleteDidn't work for me either. Used Hunting Island and nothing came up. Using macbook pro and safari
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristine at least it is an equal operating system refusal! Refuses on macs and windows.
DeleteIt does not work when I try it. It does not work on some other blogs I read. I don't think it is working on my blog, either.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teri. I guess misery loves company. :-(
DeleteI typed in Carolina Clan in the Search Box on the right hand side of your blog and got "No Results" I did the same on the my upper left search box and got your blog from Silver River with Gin, Syl, Bill, Me and you two. I checked my internal search box on my blog and it worked. I have Dell PC with Windows 7 Home Edition and Internet Explorer ?? Have you tried removing the search box and then adding it back??
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Nancy. I know that one on the blogger Nav bar works. I just like the other one better since it gives you all the posts containing that term without having to look through the entire post.
DeleteI did try removing it and adding it back first thing. Numerous times closing the entire browser between. So far no luck.
That clan gathering was a great time for us. Missing them.
Nope, didn't work. Now I'll check mine. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSherry, mine works fine.
ReplyDeleteGlad yours is working. Now if I can just figure out what is different between yours and mine.
DeleteAre you using windows? Internet Explorer as your browser? And if so what versions.
I checked and it's a no go... I hate when these little life frustrations happen :( I am using windows xp and firefox
ReplyDeleteSherry:
ReplyDeleteI typed 'hunting island' in the search box to the right. No results. I use Google Chrome on my Dell Laptop :)
Nope didn't work for me. I have an HP laptop with windows 7
ReplyDeleteno results using firefox and windows 7 on a Dell laptop
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, I also got "no results" I have a Gateway Laptop and use Firefox and have Windows 7.
ReplyDeleteNot working for me either. I typed in "Blue Springs" and Flamingo and got nothing.
ReplyDeleteI tried mine and it worked fine.
I use a pc with Windows 8 and Chrome for my browser.
I have noticed mine often doesn't work either, then it starts working again. I guess it's a Google thing.
Sherry, the top search worked however the side one did not. I am using an HP laptop with Windows 7
ReplyDeleteThe gadget on my blog works, but not the search gadget on your blog. You're not alone, though. I've tried search gadgets on some of the other blogs and they don't work either. Seems to be an intermittent problem, though as I've had it not work on my blog at times, too.
ReplyDeletenot working for me either Sherry :(
ReplyDeleteWorks fine for me. I have Chrome, PC with Vista, Dell laptop.
ReplyDeleteSide bar search doesn't work for me...Mac, Safari browser
ReplyDeleteI typed in vegan - didn't work for me. Also Mac, Safari brower
ReplyDeleteNo results. Mac, Chrome.
ReplyDeleteWhen I want to search my own blog (having found the search bar worthless), I just search like I would anything else, using the Google search. Not perfect, but I never get "no results."
No Joy for me, typed in: David, manatee, tree hugger, beach and World's Most Wonderful Lady. Nothing happened for any of them. I was expecting to see your picture on the last search request. :cD
ReplyDeletePS: I use Internet Explorer as my browser and I did use the search box on the right hand side of the blog. Every once in a while I actually follow directions.
Worked for me using windows 7
ReplyDeleteI also got no results using Windows 7 and Firefox as my browser. My computer is an HP Compaq. Pat in KS
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party -- as usual -- but got "no results" using the search box on the right. I'm on a Dell laptop, Windows XP, Google Chrome.
