Has anyone used the search facility today? I know some people never get it to work but I always have but not today.

I'm hoping it's on it's way out, Jaxjacky!

It's a pity we can't tell whichever firm it is that We Are Not Interested!

Hi, just to note we are working on the search page and hope to have it back this weekend. Thanks.

Thank you!

Hi, is the black screen still happening? Our ad operations people were under the impression they'd removed the offending ad. Is it still the Samsung one? Maybe there was more than one.

On search, we are working on the new search page which should be up by the end of the week (as in this weekend at the latest.) We were hoping to put it live last weekend but ran into an unexpected issue. Thanks very much for bearing with us on this.

Yes and yes.

Is it getting worse, did you have this black screen previously, Casdon?

it hasn't been working for quite a long time for me.

I actually assumed it was deliberate as its possibly to look up not an issue but an individuals posting history, which can be for benign or other reasons.

Hi all, the search box at the top of the screen should work again now. Apologies for the delay to this.

Hi @boheminan - just wondered if the search function is working for you by now? If not, please can you let us know which device and browser you're using so we can take a closer look.

The search facility still not working here for me. Annoying, as I was trying to look up a past post and no idea where it is!

Hi, If you are on a phone, the search page that comes up when you click the search button in the bottom bar (first photo) is unfortunately broken. But the search box that comes up when you click the "hamburger menu" at the top of the page should work.

If you're on a computer the search box at the top of each page in the GN masthead should work.

We are hoping to get the broken search (bottom bar search) back over the next week or so.

My ‘search’ button is at the top of the page, to the right of ‘Gransnet’ and to the left of ‘puzzles’ ‘inbox’ and ‘log out’.

This is on an iPad.
