Tobaccoreviews.com. What's Changed?

mawnansmiff · Apr 7, 2017

These last few days the site seems to be malfunctioning. Everytime I type in a known blend it comes up with zero results.
Anyone else noticed this?

Nope. Seems to be working for me.

Try cleaning out your Browser's closets where they bake IPs into cookies. I think?

mawnansmiff · Apr 7, 2017

Any chance some kind soul might post a working link?

Jay:

Looks like they may have changed/upgraded the database search engine.

Try it again: Tobacco Reviews: Search

You might want to clean your cookies or try another browser.

mawnansmiff · Apr 7, 2017

Thanks Cossack but still zilch. I am using my Kindle Fire 10 for this. I shall try my desktop pc tomorrow but I thinks it's something to do with the Kindle.
If I go to Google and type 'Westmorland Slices' the first thing up is the relevant TR page which works once clicked on, it's just not working directly from the site. Been like this for about five days now, most annoying.
Regards,
Jay.

Jay, the interface is a bit different.

It populates the results field much quicker now.

aquadoc · Apr 7, 2017

It works differently. It begins searching as you begin typing. I cleared cookies and it is working fine.

deathmetal · Apr 7, 2017

Seems you are right -- they are using a new third-party engine:

hawky454 · Apr 7, 2017

Oh cool, that's a neat lil search engine. I was doing the same thing as you, Jay. I just gave up and started Googling the tobacco I was looking for. Thanks for sharing the tutorial above.
You picked a good tobacco there, Death Metal. Love me some Westmoreland Slices!

sablebrush52 · Apr 7, 2017

Just tried it. No problems.

Chasing Embers · Apr 7, 2017

Tried the original link on an Android, and an IPhone. Works fine here.

anthonyrosenthal74 · Apr 7, 2017

Oooh! I like the new search :clap: I typed Kr.... and it started bringing up all the Kramer's blends. Very cool.

balkisobrains · Apr 7, 2017

More alarmingly, someone just gave FVF one star and claims I spent $10 on cigarettes! =O

orobusto · Apr 7, 2017

I cleared cookies, but am still having problems. It's fine if I type a known name, but if I type "balkan" or "vanilla" like I couldn't remember the full name of a blend, I get no list of possible matches.

balkisobrains · Apr 8, 2017

Seems like the main search will show results automatically as I type, but the "Advanced Search" requires me to use the correct field and to hit the second "Search" button (not the one for the main search).

ophiuchus · Apr 8, 2017

Wow! Their new search is pretty quick! Predictive search ... I like it. : puffy

mawnansmiff · Apr 8, 2017

Right, I just tried it on my desktop pc running AOL browser and nothing so switched to Firefox and though the layout is slightly different it kind of works.
Can't say I like the predicted text thing...never got on with those.
So it seems that I can no longer use it from my Kindle Fire unless I go via Google first.
This is what they call progress...PAH...if it isn't broken it doesn't need fixing. Not at all happy this end

Regards,
Jay.
Edit: It does now work on my Kindle! Something must have changed very recently.
