    Hi

    Anyone else found that the search for Projects or People on https://permacultureglobal.org/ doesn't work well. I cannot find my own profile for example and I know others listed in Stanthorpe and yet there are no search results for 'Stanthorpe'.

    I have left 'Feedback' a few times to this effect and never get an acknowledgement or reply.

    Anyone know how to get this resolved? It is rather sad that people cannot find each other when surely that is the intention of this website. Try a search for major cities and see how little results there are:- Brisbane = 1, Sydney = 3 - is this really correct???!

    Hi Dyllos,
    I also experimented with the WPN search feature. It appears that the search only "keys" on a limited set of parameters ... i.e., if I search in People on my last name, it appears, but if I search on my listed town it does not. Likewise, if I search in Projects on my last name the project does not appear but if I search on "Columbia" it shows up.
    We can check with Jason to perhaps shed a little insight.
    Thanks for the head's up!

    Hi Pebble,
    Jason is our forum administrator. Craig has moved on to new endeavors.

    actually I was sending it to [email protected] instead of editor - have confirmed through phone call that Craig is not editor anymore. What happened? It would be nice to know he was leaving and that he has been appropriately and publicly thanked. He has done the permaculture community much service! I am sure many people appreciate it. Am emailing as well about the search function not working - lets hope for a resolution..
