Search facility not functional?

[Justloadit]

I am using FF and have tried IE with the same results, on my WIN 7 - 32bit PC, and find that when I am attempting to do any type of search on the forum, I get the following error

Is it just my PC?
On other forums using VBUlleten as the OS, the search engine works as expected.

Sorry this forum is 64-bit only.....

Just a joke!

Given that it occurs in both FF and IE, no - it'll be on the server (a record in the database actually).

I'll go burrowing around in the database this evening when I've got some time to scratch around. I've got a pretty good idea as to what caused the problem - would I be correct in saying you don't use the search facility* often? (Or you've found it to be broken for about a year now).

*Excluding What's New which actually uses a different script.

I have noted that the search facility was broken some time ago, I always managed to get around it by doing a search in google. I just thought that in time you would have picked it up and corrected it, so left it at that. Since I needed the facility again, I decided to report it this time round, simply because it was a mission, even using google because the thread was to new, and the bots had not picked up the thread info yet.

OK Justloadit - give it a whirl and let me know if there's still a problem.

Yep working now
Thanks Dave.
