Search is once again broken

I have been trying to do advanced searches all day, and this message in the lower left hand corner of the screen stalls at:
“waiting for talk/collegeconfidential.com”

now I am getting the
“sorry no matches, try again” response.I have posted numerous times over the last few days so there should be PLENTY of matches!

Welcome, menloparkmom.

The following errors occurred with your search:

<li>Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. </li>

Ditto, same issues as menloparkmom. It has also timed out on numerous occasions.

It has happened before and will eventually be fixed.

^^ Huh? are you an administrator? I posted here, as I have in the past, not as a rant, but to bring posting problems to CC’s attn. It wont get fixed unless they know about it. That’s why CC created this particular forum- for comments about CC issues…

And all I did was add some asurance it would eventually be fixed.

thank you for the thought, but I don’t need assurance from someone outside CC’s tech support, really…

Thanks very much for reporting the issue. I have tested the various search options several times today and all searches are working for me now but search was definitely broken when you reported the issue.

It is indeed very helpful to report issues and Private Messages to me are definitely the best and fastest way to alert me. Thanks again for your willingness to participate in making this site better for all.

I just had search failures, a combo of nothing found when I know there’s something out there, and also the “contact administrator” messages. My first failure was at 12:23 PST and I quit trying without success at 12:30.
