On the forum, in the "maps for Heroes of Might and Magic V TOE" section, there are campaigns such as:

Campaign: "566 AD - Day of Fiery Tears (version 1.2)" (/topic/12742/

Campaign: "New Era" (/topic/16058/

and others, which, as we can see (by clicking on the link), actually exist and are located in this topic.

Why aren't these campaigns found when searching with the word "campaign"? In the "maps for Heroes of Might and Magic V TOE" section, only 13 results (13 campaigns) are found; in the "Heroes of Might and Magic V Mapmaking" section, 15 are found, including 2 random questions and the same 13 campaign results. But none of these options show the campaigns mentioned above in the search. To be more precise, until I specifically typed "Day of Fiery Tears" into the search, it wouldn't find that campaign at all. So, am I an idiot and doing something wrong? Or is there really something wrong with the site? For example, if I want to see all the campaigns on the site (let's say, those whose title includes the word "campaign," so I can find them using the search), how can I do that if some of them don't appear at all?

As far as I know, there have been issues with the search function for quite some time. It doesn't find these topics for me either.

Unfortunately, there does seem to be some issue with the search.
Something with the forum engine. I tried updating the search indexes yesterday via the forum panel, but it didn't help.

As an alternative, until another solution is found, I've added a form for searching the forum via Google.



The interesting thing is that even Google didn't find those threads for the query "campaign".

But if you refine the query a bit, it does find them.

Well, using the search on the site, if you type "Day of Fiery Tears", you can also find that campaign ))) even before this topic was created, you could. It's just that both on the site and in Google, the word "campaign" doesn't find it. A bit sad, I won't be able to calmly collect my whole collection of campaigns, I'll have to dig through the entire forum with Heroes 5 maps at a leisurely pace )) but in any case, thanks for the answer and for responding to my question.
