What happened to the search results? - General Topics

It seems like the search database was recreated recently, as many MANY threads which previously showed up in search before are now missing.
Has anyone else experienced this? Would it be possible to re-index all threads or restore the database?
edit2: For instance, searching for "MobiTV" used to bring up tens of results. Now it only brings up a Titan ROM thread. Searching for "MusicID" comes up with no results and finally, XM Radio comes up with the thread I was looking for.
I'm sure I could find and document others, but I think it'd be more worthwhile if others searched for things they've recently (in the past week) have searched for and confirmed this issue...

yes I have noticed this as well. the other day i was in search of an answer about Opera. all i typed in my search to the Entire site was Opera. results? 24 results. i also tried searching for an issue with my Hermes that repeatedly came up with 0 search results. whats up with the search function?

mods, please delete thread. This is already being discussed here

Sheesh Alex.....did you read THIS thread?? The search isn't working, how were we supposed to find THAT thread....

Now that is just too funny.

How do you change the default SIP in WM6?

I've spent a good half hour searching for the answer to this and can't find it. Find posts on everything else under the sun, but not this. I want to make the PocketCM Keyboard into my default input panel. I know I've seen it before but I can't for the life of me find it. I tried using Registry Wizard to do it earlier and only ended up completely trashing my phone and making it non-bootable. So that's obviously NOT the answer.
Edit: This program seems to be the answer, SIPChange
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008
Search for program called SIPChange.
If You experience problems finding it, give me a message.
Thanks! That was what I needed. I got it now. I went ahead and edited the first post with the fix in case anyone else needs it.

HTC Keyboard

I have now searched for the cab for the HTC keyboard for an hour and twenty minutes and not found it. Either I get thousands of search results which dont include the cab or I get nothing.
It could be me but is there a problem with search on xda?
Please can someone help me either find this or how to get search to work for me, thanks.
Is this what your after ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357511&highlight=htc+touch+keyboard.cab
Thanks. I found the keypad and it works.
Again, though, I used to know how to disable xt9 using a registry change but I forgot how to do it. I search and again find no useful results. Is the xda search broken or are there too many pages to find the answer?

New Official HTC ATT ROM, Issues

Friends,
I have just installed the new official ATT HTC ROM (5.11.502.2 WWE) and have been having some issues. I thought a lot of people might benefit from having a recent thread just to talk about these.
My current question is this: I have always been able to use MP3 and WMA files as ringtones on WM devices (HTC or other) and even on the original Fuze stock ROM from ATT. However, the new ROM seems to have shut out this capability. When I paste these files into the "rings" subfolder of the "Windows" folder, they still don't show up in the list in the phone rings menu, or in Contacts under the ring tones. They always have before, with no modification at all. Has ATT/HTC blocked this feature to sell more ringtones? If so, does anyone know a way to work around this block? Is there a registry setting that could open this up again? Thanks for your help. And please consider this thread an appropriate place to discuss any issue related to the new ROM release.
use the search function on this particular forum. There are plenty of answers already that addressed your current problem.
Reponse
Thanks, but I just search this forum using "Ring tones" and came up with nothing but my post. I found a lot of other posts about the general issue in a variety of phones, have tried all of those suggestions, none work. So I would still appreciate specific help related to what has been changed in the new ROM.
I searched "ATT rom update ringtone"
and I got 3 threads that all link to the same issue.

don't search just the word ringtone. Your problem is related to the ATT fuze, the updated rom, and ringtones. Use those criterias next time. good luck.
EDIT: on second search on JUST the term "ringtone" brought up all 3 posts that had answers to your problem. Don't look at just the first thread on top. go through the list and they will tell you what the thread's about.
Thanks.
Thanks, I changed the registry entry that limited the size of the file, and the problem is fixed.

Navigation software

is there any software besides google maps that doesn't use 3g for maps?
iGo, TomTom, Garmin, Navigon, NDrive ....
Read, Search, Google Search Software...
whilst I agree that the search function should be used more!!!! i do also think that an answer would help sometimes too, so that people who search and come across this thread, get the answer (NOT saying it isn't available anywhere else).
Also, seeing as OP wants something that doesnt use 3g, I would assume he also wants a software that is free.
so, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581474
it's Navicomputer and it's awesome!

When you look to the "Statistics" of the threadopener, you can see that it's someone who opens a new thread without reading or searching for each new question he has...
That makes the way of reacting... People like that, make reading and searching difficult for all of us, so also for you and me and for all our loved newbees...
