Agreed. Every time I try searching for something, it just loads the most popular things and they have nothing to do with what I'm looking for. That's also asumming it even loads at all.

yesterday and/or the day before i kept getting 404 errors trying to look at models.

Indeed it does, but it's a combination of people on lock down and the new site

You can use
https://www.yeggi.com/
to search for a print, and then click through to get to the actual print page on Thingiverse. It at least makes up for the terrible search, and you may find some stuff you like on other sites too

that would slow it down, but they also changed the site design two days ago, and for some reason the search algorithms got changed too and barely function at pulling up even slightly relevant results.
Today is better than yesterday though.

A company like startasys and this is all they can do with Thingiverse.
Not to mention they are loading it with ads now.
Bert Harvey
2020-03-22 06:26:21
my assumption is its a combination of new site roll-out (often buggy at first even at the best of times) being hit with massive increase in traffic and download volume. I'm guessing there are a couple network admins over at thingiverse literally scrambling to stay atop of a roaring dumpster fire, screaming "I told you so!" at whichever business manager pushed for this rollout right now

that’s the problem we can’t use it

Then use something else and quit complaining. Thingiverse doesn’t owe you anything.

No it doesn’t it’s wY better. When you search you have to select “exact text”
Colton Wilkins

You’re probably wondering why you can’t search. You have to search then use the exact text drop down

thingiverse doesn't suck. the whining freeloading people that can't even let a company that made thingiverse update their FREE system for people to get FREE files. if i owned thingiverse i would shut it down on all of you as you all deserve it. go buy
a model or learn how to make them. oh here is an idea start a thingiverse of your own and find out how you would feel if you just read all this. WOW people be kinder to others............
George Bulte
2020-03-22 09:07:56
Nice to upgrade the website with a new data consuming look and don't upgrade the server and bandwith. But why are we complaining? It's free of use right? Or do you own a Makerbot printer?
Complaining? Open your own site and ask for donation.

make this only available for people who bought your printer and give them only an account with the login code you provide

Go try to find anything other than the most popular files on Thingiverse and I’ll bet you have a hard time not to mention we’ve brought it up to Thingiverse multiple times to fix it and they refuse

I believe now that he is stuck at home he has all the time in the world to print, but no access to files he wants to print? my guess at least. Kind of like the twilight zone episode with the last guy one earth having all the time to read, but breaks his glasses.

Wikipedia is free and works. just does donation drives. i'd give them a few bucks. we can complain until they offer a solution. Also facebook is far from free, your data is your payment. they sell that and have targeted adds to generate revenue.

Considering it’s a completely free resource if it works then that’s great, if it doesn’t then I’m not going to complain because it’s not a service I actually pay for.

SLower than a wet week, and the search algorithm's gone to shiz. Fun Test. Copy the name on athing, paste it into the search bar, and watch as thingiverse can;t find it. Some sysadmin needs tobe shot
