The search function for this community site has an issue, and I can’t tell if it’s just for one post, or for filenames in a topic, or something else. I managed to find a topic called “Compile errors on blinky.ino” organically. But when I went to search for it, “compile errors on blink” returned the name plus a bunch of other topics, but adding a ‘y’ to make it “compile errors on blinky” suddenly it finds no topics. I want to search for “blinky.ino” because it’s the example for particle-cli. But I can’t, because no results are found. ![](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/particle/original/6/a/6aa4cdaf70eb3df2ab0aa8a0119ef86a1ad6d410.png) ![](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/particle/original/5/d/5d7d533a34c51f7dfadafac72c04e34c854eb088.png)

If you cannot find some post related, feel free to open a new thread.

The search function is native to the software powering this community and i don’t this much can be done 😉
