    Database issues?

    in MyFitnessPal Tech Support Questions
    I suddenly can’t search for chicken wings, chicken, or wings. Is there an issue with some database or another or is this user error?

      I tried searching for rice and nothing came up. Said food was not found.
      Same with chili. Is there an issue right now. Accessing via iPhone app.

      Hi! I currently have the same issue. I think perhaps it’s affecting the app’s server as a whole and we must be patient and wait for it to be fixed.

      I’m dealing with the same problem. Even basic foods aren’t showing up in the database.

      I sent a message to support. Has anyone else chimed in? Maybe if everyone bugs them it will get some attention.

      I have tried Trader Joes, Graham Cracker, even Whataburger to no avail. Is the site down?

      Two other threads already asking about it. I also can't search, so yes, it appears there is a search issue for both the app and website at this time.

      I started having the same issue. Everything was fine and all of a sudden I can’t look up the mango margarita or anything else for that matter I can only see my history.

      I have tried the food search on the app, right after updating, so I thought it was an update issue. I then logged into the browser on my laptop and same issue here as well. Leaving a comment so that they can get more details to resolve the outage.

      Me too. There is nothing in the database, no matter what food I search for.

      Anyone having trouble seeing the whole food database when you search for the food? I can scan food and see my food history that's about it

      Me too. As of a few minutes ago, "green beans" do not exist on MFP.

      Yup, getting an error while searching for foods, something to do with the server.
