Search - why doesn't it exist?

At least on this site, I think search should have been kept until the plugins are ready.

Imagine what would happen if search engines disappeared from the Internet. The Internet will go dark.

Yeah this forum is on Edge so that we can use you guys to help us stability test

The latest stable version of NodeBB is v0.3.2 and the search functionality is intact for that version, so for production you should really use that until 0.4x comes out.... soon

Aarrgghh!! I could have used a warning somewhere. I'm trying to deal with a bunch of bugs right now, having just pulled the latest. And of course search is missing...
I shouldn't complain. You guys have built an incredible piece of software. Thanks

Is anyone at work on a good search plugin?

@Sp4rkR4t

Be patient, dude, be patient.

If the search feature was removed, you can be sure that the devs are working on a replacement solution.

Sorry 0.4x is going to be super amazing there's a TON of refactoring going on behind the scenes. Performance and code stability and all that

I know, I shouldn't ask - it's open source. But I'm just so super curious - any hints when 0.4 is going live? Days, weeks, months?

@circoloco

You can keep track of its development here.

@circoloco Years... maybe decades, even. Just kidding

If you follow our trend, we should've released v0.4.0 last Thursday (one minor version per month), but this one's an unusually large revision, so it may take a little longer

circoloco

@julian Thanks, that sounds very, very promising.

Plus, the search is back on community.nodebb.org!

Right now I'm about 1/3 of the way there, and I'm about a week in. So I would say about two weeks Don't quote me on that - I have the power to remove the quote button from this post :shipit:
