Search bar in camaro 6 is useless on my phone.

jrs580 · 05-11-2017, 09:25 AM

Is anyone else having this problem? There is no way for me to search this forum on my phone. I have to be on the computer for it to work.

jpsuperman81 · 05-11-2017, 09:26 AM

Just used it with no issue just now, has always worked fine on my phone.

Yes, but the workaround would be clicking on search and when you get the drop down, click on 'advanced search'. It will bring you to the search page, which will work as designed.

Use Google and type camaro6 and then what you are looking for. Works fantastic!! Works so much better than the sites search.

Both true

My work around is typing what I will search for, copy it, then you hold your finger the actual text field input for the search. It will pop up with the paste option. Works every time for me. Annoying to have to do it that way but it works

To be specific, you want to use Google site search. Example:

Parts in trunk site:camaro6.com

The "site:camaro6.com" tells google to only search that website domain. Works 100X better than the forum search.

No probs so far.

Another workaround is to hold your finger on the search button for a couple seconds, then click "open in new tab". That will give you a search page that you can type on.

Are you using the Tapatalk app? The search doesn't work for me either on there. But on the mobile site it works fine.

Is there even a mobile site for Camaro6? When I view these forums on my phone, it's the same as on my desktop. Super hard to read and very small. I assumed the version of vBulletin that they are using doesn't support showing a "chunkier" layout for mobile users like a lot of other forums do. I also just now visited this site with my browser's user agent spoofed so it would look like I was requesting the site from a mobile phone, but it made no difference.

Yeah you're right. There's no mobile version.

From the posts I see you might be the first to try and search ever
