    Probably related to the above issue, is anyone else having problems with Search in general?
    For example I was searching for Take a Break issue 45 and it brings up loads of locked old threads and no sign of the right one, which would usually appear top of the results. :(

    I tried Take a break and take a break 45 and the results were in the correct date order (in normal and "advanced search") - using old look forum

    I'm using the old look forum too and both Take a Break and Take a Break 45 bring up exactly 0 results now! :eek:

    Best search term for T-A-B is below. The "AND" must be in capitals.

    takeabreak AND issue

    Which leads to "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms"

    Confused. Until a day or two ago search worked perfectly for me. :huh::think:
