First and important:
As some of you may know I’m a volunteer with the EA CCP program.
This does not mean I am, or ever was, an employee of either EA or the TSTO Studio.
Any thoughts or opinions I share are entirely my own.
While express permission to get involved hasn’t been granted it also hasn’t been denied. That may change in the future and I’ll have to withdraw from further participation.
Search seems not to like hyphens!
EDIT: This is being investigated. Thanks spAnser.
EDIT 2: There’s a patch in place that doesn’t turn up zero results if a hyphen is included, but it does give more results than hoped for even if you type the name in full.
It even found my town searching 1–s …
I’ve not been able to find a Contact Us for the Town Archive, so I’m hoping they’ll get to see this post.
I’ve seen a few of you say you couldn’t find your town listed, and I had issues with my A Town ID. If like me yours includes a hyphen or two then maybe all is not lost.
If I type “1-” it immediately shows none found, but to illustrate this I did the search with my full user name …
I’m fortunate enough to have always known the value of the Mayhem IDs.
While I know not all of you will have this as an option if you did note it then use that to search instead …
As you can see my A town is there, even though searching by it’s name failed.
I have spent many an hour trying to find a work-round but the nearest seems to be for me to just search “Graham” and narrow it down to about 47 pages. Can’t confirm that worked though, lost the will to live going through them !!
Hopefully the people behind the archive will see this and find a solution for those affected.
