cherie62 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Lately, when I try to search for a movie, actor, etc. on the Search: TCMDb at the top of the TCM Home Page, it never comes up with a result. It just shows a blank page where the result should appear. However, if I Google something with TCM in the request box (i.e. Casablanca TCM), I go directly to what I am looking for on the TCM Database. Why is this happening? I KNOW Casablanca is in the TCM Database, but it foes not appear in a Search on the actual TCM website. This happens on laptop, phone, or iPad.

Kid Dabb Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 This is recent, as I was using it this morning. Most likely, they're still working on the site update and have disconnected the database from the search page - or sumpin'. I'll bet it'll be back in no time. LOL! Using Google is faster than TCM's own search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dabb Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Ok. The TCMDb Search is working.. but now it's "case sensitive". You'll have to type capital letters along with lower case as the title is shown in the TCMDb so it matches "exactly" - or it won't come up. We'll have to wait and see if this is permanent - I hope not. I wouldn't think there's any reason for case sensitivity in a forum such as this.

Kid Dabb Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 YAYyy! It's working again! Not case sensitive, either. Thank you, behind-the-scenes-people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherie62 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 As of 1/19/2014 it is not working again. I get this: HTTP STATUS 404 - /search/ type. status report message. /search/ description. The requested (/search /) is not available Apache Tomcat/ 6.0.35 Can TCM just be kind and tell us the Search function will be down for awhile? I hate it when I have to beg someone to tell me what is going on with a website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
