I tried searching for things that were clearly in topic titles or in the posts themselves and nothing gets found.

I also tried yesterday and it didn't work. I tried to search for "games" in 2-4 because we had a topic about a month ago and I wanted to report back on something I did as a result of that thread. I tried sesveral times then gave up and started a new topic.

Like all web search tools you will get better results if you employ different words and methods of searching. I searched for fairly specific terms (octomom, health care, paula abdul, etc.) and got pretty good results just now. Searching for games in the main search box returns way too many results but if you enter the 2-4 forum and use the search in this forum box at the very bottom of the forum page, it came back with very specific threads and a much more manageable result.

Thanks, Trish.

I tried the examples you gave, Craig, and all returned a "No results found", even for specific forums.

Thanks for looking into this. I am not able to do any searches either - I am usually in the First Year and searched "solids", "sleep", and "feeding schedules". All returned no results found.

Is anyone else having trouble searching again? I was able to recently, but now it's now working again. I tried searching both in specific forums and a general search. For example, I searched bumpers and nothing came back although I recently did a post about this. Thanks!

It worked for a day or so, then quit again. I get the "no results found" no matter what I search for.

We updated the software this past weekend, which requires reconfiguration of the search engine we use here. I'm working with tech support and hope to have it running soon.

This still doesn't work for me. It worked a couple times, but a few minutes later, it was back to giving me no results, or a couple from 2004. I'm sorry to be a pest, but am I the only one?

I have tried searching for a few things but only get results from before September 13th. Something like "twin" gets plenty of results but only until September 13th. Other words I have tried with the same result is "anything" and "book". If I search for a specific author (in the advanced search) I also only get results until September 13th but if I go to somebody's profile and search for their posts using the options in their profile, it works normally.
