    Blank results in SEARCH

    I'm getting blank results when I pull up search results. I get search results, but when I click into a result, I get a blank.

    Screenshot 2024-01-08 090140.png

    I thought maybe it's because I'm using Edge browser. But it's not that. What I did next tells me this is an EF thing.

    Notice the URL in the address bar above (red arrow):
    https://www.excelforum.com/excel-for...book-down.html

    When I copy/paste that URL from the search result into a new tab, I get a full result, below.

    Screenshot 2024-01-08 092759.png

    The blue tab is the same URL as the red tab.
    Red tab (search result). The blank example.
    Blue tab (copy/paste of red tab URL) The completed example.

    Same URL in both tabs. So, something in EF isn't displaying the entire URL code when it results from searching.

    Re: Blank results in SEARCH

    When you get the list of blank posts (your second picture) you need to refresh the browser (F5 key for Edge) - then you'll see the responses.

    Apparently this bug has been known about for some time, but the Tech Team have not fixed it.

    Hope this helps.

    Upon encountering the list of blank posts, as depicted in your second picture, simply refresh the browser (press the F5 key for Edge), and the responses should become visible.

    It appears that this bug has been acknowledged for some time, yet the Tech Team has yet to address it.

    I hope this solution proves helpful.
