Uh, is there something wrong with the search bar? cause after a week, its search info isn't really updated after most articles have been renamed. Like, for example, I tried searching for Hieratic on the bar, but it wouldn't show, and it'd still had "Hieroglyph" in it. LastMinute (talk • contribs) 02:35, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
- The only thing I noticed that was changed recent was that if you properly type a name into the search, instead of taking you to the page, it goes to a search page with There is a page named "Hieratic" on this wiki at the top which I need to click to go to, which is kinda annoying imo.
- If this is about the autocomplete, both seem to show for me.

- Oh yeah, that too. I've seen it in a lot of wikis lately. LastMinute (talk • contribs) 02:44, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
- I've noticed this too. It's not just Hieratics, it's almost everything that got a name change. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 03:04, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, that was just an example... LastMinute (talk • contribs) 03:08, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm just trying to point out that a lot of things have this issue right now. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 03:28, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, i understand what you were saying, but the way you said it sounded as if i'm only focusing on Hieratic. I was trying to make the same point before. But, forget about that, what is the reason behind this? LastMinute (talk • contribs) 03:47, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Only pages made before a certain point that had to get renamed seem to be affected. I don't know squat about wikis, but something must be outdated...--> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 03:54, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
Okay? didn't know that one. LastMinute (talk • contribs) 03:59, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Honestly, they need to fix it back to normal so I can be satisfy just going to front page instead of click twice to get to the front page... That's just stupid shit I ever see. --iFredCat 04:05, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
- It was an intentional change. You can read about it here and see people's reactions in the comments -- Deltaneos (talk) 15:35, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
- The Monobook skin (at least as of right now) still have two buttons on the search bar. "Go" will take you straight to the article if one by the searched name exists, while "Search" takes you to the search. No idea why they couldn't just implement that in the Wikia skin and avoid this whole thing. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 12:35, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- "
This update changed the "go" button in Monobook, as well.Fixed!" - So it was a bug, and it's been fixed, all good then. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 13:59, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Here's a blog I found. [1] It might be helpful. -- The Goblin I'm feelin' the flow 05:24, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
- And now they've disabled the dropdown. Beautiful. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 00:52, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
- The thing where you type in a few letters and a list of pages starting with those letters drops down?
- That still works for me. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 10:34, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, it started working again last night after the wikia underwent maintenance. Though there is still a noticeable wait before the options come up. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 11:52, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
- What bugs me is that now, if you type in a card, it only suggests the main page for that card. It doesn't suggest rulings or tips pages or anything. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 07:52, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
- You can now change it back to use the "go" in the "Under the Hood" section of your preferences. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:24, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
