After your upgrade, you were instructed to rebuild the search index. Did you do this? If you have many posts, we are talking about something that should take several hours long.

I'm having a similar problem when new members register, and then post. Go to their profile and search for their posts or started threads, it comes up with no results.

you probably have search queuing on - vboptions > search options > queue search updates

Thanks Lynne, it still doesn't work.

I also have some trouble with my search results.
Find All Posts

ChopSuey, did you mean similar like this?

Hi forum lover, my problem is for both threads & Posts for new members. Try do what Lynne said with Search Queue

So you had it on? Did you then manually run the cron job for it or those old searches to be inserted will just sit there and still not be indexed.

There were three things I remember being told to do and all are under Maintenance > Update Counters - Rebuild thread info, then rebuild Forum info (it said In That Order!) and also Rebuild the Search Indexes.
