is it me, or is search broken??

[psychomum5]

have I done something wrong, orhas tech been playing updating again??

[RedOnHerHead]

seems fine to me
maybe you broke mumsnet!

[psychomum5]

I keep breaking stuff

[KingCanuteIAm]

It doesn't work for me if I am in classic so I have to log out, search and then log in again....

I assumed that it was a hang over from the change and would be fixed soon but it does seem to be dragging on!

[psychomum5]

but I am 'new mumsnet'.................

did tech get offended when I complained on another thread today about the STILL BROKEN moon

[Tamarto]

It's broken for me too

I'm using MN new aswell.

[Pillow]

Broken for me too.

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello.

Search is not broken; it's just a little, er, challenged at the moment.

In other words, it searches for key words and nicknames as normal but you can't pre-select Topics to search under.

Sorry. We're yelling at BigTech about it working on fixing that as soon as we can.

[Tamarto]

Mine wont search at all, i click the search button and nothing happens at all.

[Tamarto]

Ignore the last at all

[AnarchyAunt]

Search not working at all for me either - Im on MN new.

[psychomum5]

tis still not working, any way I use it

[flowerybeanbag]

it is not you, I have been huffing and puffing at MNHQ about this for what seems like months but is actually a few weeks. 'Tis extremely annoying!

[MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo]

Yes - I cannot use the advanced search either

[HelenMumsnet]

Oh dear. Didn't realise some people couldn't get Search to work at all - sorry.

Promise to alert the Techs tomorrow.

Are you all on Internet Explorer, by any chance?

[KingCanuteIAm]

I am on IE, but I am on IE because, when you first changed nothing worked on Firefox (for me) but I had no trouble at all with IE - which was the exact opposite of everyone elses experience!

I kept quiet of course - I couldn't risk anyone asking me detailed or techy type questions

[PuzzleRocks]

It was fine yesterday but doesn't work at all for me now. I'm on IE also.

[flowerybeanbag]

As mentioned before, it doesn't work for me on IE or Safari. I can do a basic search but can't select topics.

[psychomum5]

I am actually on IE.

would love to change to firefox, and did for a short time. but that crashes my laptop so I uninstalled it.

[Pillow]

Its working for me once I log in, but not if I'm not logged in - if that helps anyone...

[HelenMumsnet]

OK, it would be really helpful if you could all give us a bit more info about this.

Are you having problems with Search or Advanced Search?

Is it completely bust for you - or just part of it (such as selecting Topics, like flowerybeanbag has noticed)?

And is this only happening in Internet Explorer? Or are you using another browser?

[PuzzleRocks]

Hi Helen. Advanced search does not work. I can go to the page and enter search criteria but nothing happens when I click the search button. I am using IE.

[PuzzleRocks]

Just checked and the regular search button does not work for me either.

[HelenMumsnet]

Thanks PuzzleRocks. Would you just mind giving that Search button a whirl from the Home page too, please (it's right at the top on the right)?

Anyone else?

[PuzzleRocks]

That one seems to work.

[HelenMumsnet]

Ooh, well that's good

We're on the case with the other stuff - but it may take us a while...
