Search box?

December 30th, 2013
I'm a real newbie to this site, and have to say just how good it seems :-)

I've read a few times about the 'search box' at the top right of the screen, but it isn't on mine at all (iPhone 5s/ios7). Any advice on this to avoid me plaguing the forums with age-old questions?

Cheers

Matt

On my phone, I have to turn my phone sideways to see it :-) welcome!

Thanks for the reply and welcome Amy. Found this site from a link you posted on Twitter, it's something I've been wanting to do for ages. Tried your idea, but still the same :-(

Across the top I have; Home, You, Discuss, Browse, Notifications. That's all I get.

Bit of a bugger if I can't search.

I can't see the search box on iPhone 4 either. Welcome to the project Matt.

Yes, exactly the same on my phone.......Browse....no blog......notification, and nothing to the right of it.

Not just me then? I thought I was going daft(er).

Any Mods know of a fix?

It doesn't display if your screen size or browser window is small enough to force the site to display in the mobile responsive design appearance.

You can get to the search page manually by going to:
http://365project.org/search

But unfortunately that doesn't display properly when the site resizes down either, and the search box disappears again.

You can craft a custom search by editing the following URL:
http://365project.org/search?q=test

But even then the results are cut off on the left hand side and are very difficult to view.

I think the only option on a mobile device that won't display the search box normally is to go to Google and enter your search terms, followed by: 'site:365project.org' (without the quotes), which will force Google to only display pages on this site.
