Whats up with the search feature??
Anybody else having issues with the search feature here. I can go to all other parts of the forum, but when I try to conduct an advanced search i get the annoying "page cannot be displayed" page.

Mods/Admins could you look into this please.

Thanks

VRAA,

I'm still having issues along with many others here. I think this is a configuration issue and has been discussed on vbulletin.com or org.

See Garage
Advanced search works great for me. I use it every day, and get better results than at most other forums.

I think it has to do with the request and the time it takes the server to respond. If I chose a simple search it doesn't timeout. If it has three words, for example, I get the blank page. The settings need adjustment.

There's a problem with search
Try searching with the term "rear". It shows blank everytime on Firefox and IE. There r many other terms that'd show a blank page, too many to list.

We're working with the IB guys right now to fix the search, it does have issues right now.

Keep sending feedback on what you'd like to see improved / changed.
