Cause

Solution
|
|
Seems
to work, but no results are in tables
|
Yahoo!
|
The
script is connecting to Yahoo, but Yahoo's servers are down. Try again
after stock trading hours.
|
|
Limited
range.
|
Too
many simultaneous users exhausting server resources.
|
Try
again later.
|
|
Nothing
seems to be happening.
|
You
are wrong.
|
Wait
for the search to complete.
|
|
Page
turns gray quicking after beginning search.
|
Failed
search.
|
1)Check
URL.
Make sure you are using the URL from a specific
post, not the URL of the message
list. 2)Limit your search range. 3)Verify spelling if searching for
an alias and/or subject. Search is case-sensitive.
|
|
Page
turns white after an apparently successful search.
|
Your
search found a lot of stuff.
|
Continue
waiting. The page is still rendering the results. If it stalls permanently,
you need more RAM on your video card.
|
|
Search
is not finding my alias/subject.
|
Incorrect
search parameters.
|
Verify
correct spelling. No such result for search window - Expand post search
window.
|
|
Search
completes, but the report table list is empty (I already checked my input
data as per above).
|
Search
failed to find matches because Yahoo is slow.
|
Double-check
the above-described remedy. If you are searching for a recent post, give
Yahoo time to catch up. Try again later.
|
|
Word
Count Search takes a long time.
|
A
lot of words.
|
Continue
waiting.
|
|
No
links.
|
No
links are available in the 'Long-Range' Search
Tool.
|
Use
the 'Standard' Yahoo Search Tool. Max range
is about 50,000 posts.
|
|
It's
still not working, and I hate you.
|
Yahoo!
is broken.
|
In
some cases, the Yahoo thread will not advance the message list to 'Next
40' posts. This halts the search script. The only way around this is to
re-define your search around this Yahoo error. Report this message list
error to Yahoo!
or Messageboardfools.com.
