    Now and again over the past couple of weeks Search would go tits up on me. Noticed it would happen if entered some search criteria and user name :confused: but was fine when searching by user name alone.

    Feel free to start noting what exactly causes it to b0rk on this thread. If enough people post enough examples, including the error messages, then it might become obvious what the solution is.

    When I enter the search on the Evil Style the page just waits and I get the "this doccument has no data" pop up that firefox generates

    I'm on yellow style now and the search works fine .

    I cant even find a thread I know exsists..."Shell" (as in oil company) in the motors forum.
    Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

    Also tried Super unleaded.

    Also, not a bug as such, but is there any way to make it look for all the words in your search, instead of only counting all words above three letters or four letters (can't remember which)? It's very difficult to find posts about topics like "dvd" and "cds"
