    Not sure if this is the right subforum for posting bug reports for the forum itself, but it seemed like the best place. I noticed when trying to search for my own mod that any "resource update" results on the search results page have the wrong link. I tried to click on an update I had recently posted and got "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action" which I found odd, seeing as it's my resource. I was, however, able to view my update if I went to the mod page itself and clicked the updates tab. I compared the URL and realized that the update page is "https://www.beamng.com/resources/citybus-hybrid-drivetrain.5502/update?update=12364" while the results page links to "https://www.beamng.com/resources/citybus-hybrid-drivetrain.5502/?update=12364". The results page seems to be missing the last "update" in the URL before the query string (/?update=whatever instead of /update?update=whatever). I've seen this with other search results as well and thought they had simply been deleted or hidden, but I guess it's just that the URL is wrong.

    All I know is that those resource updates in search results are useless as all of them just give page could not be found error. Maybe what you found is the cause of this to all of them?

    I guess it could be better for not to show resource updates in search results as one can find updates from resource page and when searching something, people mostly want to find resource itself.

    The reason they're all "not found" is the URL issue I mentioned; I added that "update" after the last slash and before the question mark and it goes to the correct update page. I think it's useful to be able to search updates as well because there may be keywords in the update title/description that aren't on the resource page itself.
