Search doesn't work

[NMKH91]

Is anyone else having this problem?
Search just say "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.".
Even i write "car" into keyword, it doesn't find anything.
Way to fix this?

Edit : It doesn't work in any browser i have.

It's not working for me either. It'll be fixed sooner or later i imagine so just hang in there.

Firstly, how's this GT5 related? I think you should move this thread to the Site Support, as it otherwise might get locked 👍.

Secondly, the search isn't broken. Searching for "car" doesn't work because it's probably not enough characters to complete a search. Though, searching for "cars" works perfectly.

Sorry for wrong section.
Well for me, it doesn't find anything with any words.
I'll move the thread now.

Avoid common words.

Things like Car, GT, Win are too common.

See this section of the FAQ for more information on searching.

The site will be updated soon with a new search engine which will remove some of the current limitations.

I did look at those, but nothing.
Can't understand what's wrong.

Some times it maybe easier to use google.

Just type in "thing your searching for" then GTPlanet.

Eg. Pink color chip GTPlanet

Well, the first thing that's wrong is that the word "car" is too short for the search function. It will only work on words four characters long or longer.

The second thing that's wrong is that cars are kinda the focus of the site. There's eight million posts and most of them will be car-related. The term "cars" would thus be too common for the search function.

Try to refine what you're looking for. Put up in this thread what it is you're actually trying to find and people will tell you what you should put in to maximise your chances of finding it. Knowing how to use any search engine - even Google - is the best way to get the most out of it.

Well it was just a example.
But today it started to work.
