Is Advanced Search broken? And where's the Ebola topic gone?

Because I was trying to find and use the topic - as Ebola is back

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-44164027

(the even older and way less likely to re-emerge as a a disease because of vaccinatin, Swine Flu topic is still there). Can't find Ebola on the topic list, and searches for Ebola and Sierra Leone are returning zero results.

What's up?

Hi meditrina,

We're getting some search results through so we're not too sure what's going on here! Before we flag to tech, can we ask what device and browser you're using?

It's a bit of a pain but a screenshot of the results page would be extremely helpful.

I was also just searching for something and it came up with the message "An error occurred performing the search."

Has the Ebola topic been deleted?

(If so, where have the threads gone?)

Searching for 'Ebola' this morning (with or without some target dates) produces this....

Hello,

Thanks so much for the extra information - we've asked tech to take a look now and hope to update you soon!

There's been a further press release from WHO about the continuing outbreak

www.who.int/csr/don/17-august-2018-ebola-drc/en/

which has now claimed 55 lives, including 10 of health workers.

Did anyone ever find the Topic??

Advanced Search has been broken for some of us for months and months.
I see the error message in the screenshot alternated with 'oops we can't find that page' 9 times out of 10 when I try to AS.

I posted about it here - 7 months ago - and had already been experiencing issues for months at that point.
Still not working for me, still getting error messages.

In order to find this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/3155720-Advanced-Search-Question
I had to literally go through pages and pages of the Site Stuff board.
