Issues with New Community Search and Linking

[Blake]

Is anyone else having problems with the new community?

The new community forum looks pretty at first but it has some major issues with searching and linking to articles. 

1) when I search for "API bad request jQuery" it auto corrects to "APO bad request query". Completely different meaning...

2) links to articles have nearly stopped working. Links from Google stopped working and even links from/to the Atlassian website, for example these take you to the community landing page rather than the article:

Hi Blake - on number 2, i think those redirects are broken because they are development related questions, which Atlassian decided not to migrate into the community from Atlassian Answers.

This doesn't really help, I know. But at least explains why. There's an article explaining some more here.

Thanks Sam, I didn't realize there was a separate developer community.

Perhaps they could consider putting a notice on the Community landing page (or at the very least, a link) since that's where most developers end up when Googling questions now. 

I appreciate your help!

We are working through this issue now to get a better experience and hopefully preserve some more of this content.
