Fanpop Question

Is the search function malfunctioning for anyone else?

Whenever I try to use the search function in a club, I don't get any results. Instead I simply get a message saying "The web page at ............... might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address". Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a workaround? I don't think using the Fanpop-wide search function would work in all situations (even if that one does work) since some terms I'd want to search for are too generic.

Both the in-club and site-as-a-whole searches are working for me. Have you tried using a different browser? I've had no problems with Firefox lately, but I've heard a few complaints about Chrome vs. Fanpop.

In the meantime, you can search through Google: Just type in what you're searching for, followed by site:fanpop.com/clubs/clubname and it should show you results for just that club. =)

Chrome is dumb. Edge worked for like two seconds lmao.

Thanks. Is there a way to specify in which area of a club you want to search, e.g. polls?

Yup, just add another slash and then the section. (Polls are still called picks in the URL, so you'd use "site:fanpop.com/clubs/clubname/picks")

Yeah it's been like that for a while. Like for over a year for me, but like it used to just load a blank page for me.

I only use site:fanpop.com/clubs/"club name" "whatever I search for" these days. The onsite search bar does not work for me at all.

I can only speak for myself, but on my laptop everything goes smoothly. Search engine works just fine for me, even the advanced search. I get all the results that I need in couple of seconds.
