Hi Eric. Apologies for the trouble. I think there's a problem in the way our search engine indexes new groups. I'll let our tech team know about this. They should have a fix. Meanwhile, people can still find the group via the Explore >> Groups section so long as it's regularly updated, and thus show up in the first pages of that section. They can also find it via the Areas of Focus page. Bowo |

I also noticed that I cannot find my Green Infrastructure-Low Impact Development Solutions group in a group search, and thus I cannot add the group to the related groups module in other groups. Thanks,
Eric |

Ialso suggest that you add the words greywater, graywater and bioswale to your search dictionary as valid words. This might cause some problems in searches. E |

Yes. I'm having the same problem with one of my new group too. Don't think it has to do with validity of any word, but the tech team should know better. Thanks for your patience on this Eric. ~Bowo |

Hey Eric - are you still having problems finding your group under search term graywater? It shows up for me now, which leads me to believe there's likely a delay in adding the group to the directory. Normally, we should see real-time results, so I'll investigate into this all the same.

I have started up a new group, intending to call it Graywater Solutions, but I have found problems with the search function. I search under Graywater and even Gray, and I cannot find the group. I think part of the problem is tht the search engine does not recognize either graywater or greywater as an actual word. It thinks I am misspelling something. I know that there is controversy within the community as to what exactly to call it. It can be called greywater, grey water, graywater or gray water. I would like people to be able to search for my group and find it. I think I was able to find graywater under certain searches, but not in others, particularly groups. I should be able to find gray under groups, but that didn't work. Can you please add both graywater and greywater to the search engines? I would like to call the group Graywater Solutions, but for now it is called Gray Water Solutions.
Thanks,
Eric
