I have tried to search a few times today and it just comes up with a blank page.
I am using an android tablet, chrome browser, mobile site.

I've just come into 'Site Stuff' to see if this was a problem or just for me on my android phone. It's been like this since yesterday.

If you do advance search it seems to work but normal search doesn't. Thought I was just searching for really obscure things to start with!

The search facility is completely rhubarb if you want my technical opinion!
What does work is to just search whatever it is your after in a search engine and include mumsnet in the title.

I.e. Google 'How to make a chicken last a week mumsnet'
No idea if it works if you're digging on a specific member though!

Whenever I've tried to search on MN the results are all over the shop, not in any order. Advanced search is a PITA on an iPad. Too many topics.

Evening all. Sorry about this. We'll ask Tech to have a look and see if they can fix this. Thanks for all the info on browsers, devices etc. That's always helpful. In the meantime, if anyone else is having the same problem, please do post here, again letting us know what device and browser you're using, as well as whether you're on the regular site, mobile or app. Thanks for bearing with.

It still doesn't work on my android phone but it did work on my Kindle Fire tablet last night if that's any help to tech.

I just get adverts today.

I know I can Google stuff with mumsnet in the search, but it used to work.
