Hrm...

LJ directory search

This is interesting. It's a little quirky, I did a search on latest updates in my city and got 0 matches, while I can go look at my city via the link on my profile and get many results.

And I just did a search on all users who list "goth" as an interest and who have updated in the last seven days and got no hits.

Okay, maybe it's not so cool.

Anyhow, I tried to do a search to look for a community in the LJ header search window and there were over a 1000 hits, but the communities weren't separated from the users. AUGH! That would be such a nice search features--just communities or just users. Yes, I know there's an LJ community dedicated to community search, but sometimes I want to do my own sleuthing.

Comments

It seems that for the crazy-largely popular items, the comms and the folks are all mixed together; however, for the items that don't have thousands of people interested, usually the comms are listed first and then the folks are listed afterward.

Or... wait. That's for the interest search. Maybe nothing I just said makes sense. If that's the case, then I'm not the one who told you. It was some confused person walking through the room. Yeah.

Yeah, we're on the same page. ;)

THe link I gave for a more refined search doesn't work. If I do an interest search using the drop down menu and the window on the LJ title bar, it works unless over 1000 results are obtained, in which case it mixes them up and returns them by time, not alphabetically. VERY ANNOYING. ahem.

Perhaps they're all spending the month dead.

(I got 1000 matches, fwiw; I think it caps it there.)

The search works if I do the title bar search. It doesn't not work if I use the link I mentioned, which is supposed to allow for a more refined search.

I used the same place you linked to... I haven't used the search in the bar along the top for more than a year now, I think.
