Sorry if this has been asked before - I can't search to find out!
thanks

OK, thanks all - sounds like a glitch we should look into.

Will keep you posted.

I have exact same thing too. IE7 I think.

I have to go into advanced search if I want to search anything- the general search thing doesnt work for me at all.

Yes, I'm using IE.

I always have odd things going on with my MN but I put up with it only because I love you all so much.

Really, Butterball? That is odd.

Are you using Internet Explorer too?

My search button at the top doesn't work if I try to use it when in a thread on in a topic. It only works if I am on the main page with all the topics listed or on one of the other main MN pages. Been like that forever.

Ah, you were talking about the General search button at the very top, GreenPenguin!

That's yahoo search tool, which you can select to search Mumsnet, Mumsnet Talk or Google - and it's working from this end. Do let us know if it's still playing up for you.

thanks - yes, advanced search is OK but chucks up lots of irrelevance too. (Glad it's not just me on the main search, anchovies)

Mine hasn't worked for ages, does the same thing, the advanced search works though

Hi - yes. If I type in something to search, it has a big think then re-loads the current page. I'm on IE 8 if that makes any difference...?
thanks

Hi GreenPenguin. Yes it does still work - I hope!

Are you having trouble with it?
