I've tried entering my own username, I've tried entering 'dotpup'... Nothing is ever found.
Near as I can work out, this has happened sometime in the last few days - I certainly used the wiki search Ok this time last week.
FYI...
Wiki Search Appears Broken (Solved)

I can confirm the search is not working
I do not remember ever using it - clearly it does not work now . . .
Not quite sure why this would be - if someone wants to research the search wikka functions and prepare something for Barry to look at - let us know . . .
I did report (it has been cleared) one episode of potential spam to the person owning that page (it was in the comments) - hopefully it is nothing to do with that.
Any ideas on what might be happening are welcome.
Anyway thanks for reporting this - now to find the cause . . .

Yes, there appears to be a problem with the Wiki, I found yesterday that when I tried to edit the Working Laptops in the Hardware section the html code broke.
When I did a preview It just showed the html code and not the tables so I did not edit it.
I did manage to delete a heap of comments in that section which I could not do before as the delete button on the comments was not visable, I added a comment about them needing to be removed a couple of days ago and yesterday when I went to that section the buttons were there so I don't know what is going on.

Could it be to do with the HTML?
I am quite comfortable with HTML but is seems to rather defeat the purpose of a wiki (which is to create a way of editing that simpler than HTML for everyone to use) So maybe that is effecting the search
[shrug] - just a thought
I am not saying it is this (I hope it is not as these pages are a great resource) - just asking . . .
Has anyone contacted the Wakka wiki IRC or similar? We need a search . . .
