Tobaccoreviews.com. What's Changed?

[mawnansmiff]

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?

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.

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.

Jay.

Jay, the interface is a bit different.

It populates the results field much quicker now.

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

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

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!

Just tried it. No problems.

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

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

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

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

 

[orobusto]

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]

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]

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

 

[mawnansmiff]

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.
