Anyone else having problems with the Search function today?

Just_a_girl

Just logged into to do some comps and the current search by end date method is bring up an 'somethings gone wrong page' I can go into the search page but as soon as I hit search, that page loads. Anyone else? Could this mean Search is being fixed as we speak??

Just came in to ask exactly the same question.
Frankly I'm well hacked off.  After a period of sulking at the new forum I decided to knuckle down and get on with it.  
I was struggling to get too far ahead as the entered buttons not showing in search meant I still had to open each thread nearer the date when trying to scoop up any recently posted comps. 
Now this... 

Something has gone wrong.

We've run into a problem and are unable to handle this request right now.
Please check back in a little while.

!!!!!!!

It's been playing up for a couple of days and I reported it on Site Feedback at lunchtime on Tuesday 25th

I can confirm it appears to be behaving correctly for a couple of hours.

I've had the same problem off and on since yesterday, sometimes worked, sometimes error message. However, in general I much prefer the current Advanced search to the old search engine; if you set up the options correctly (Competitions + sub-categories, date within 1 or 2 months from today, Threads only) and bookmark that in your browser, it really does just give the relevant results, no duplicates so far for me. New tool needs new techniques, and much use and tweaks to make it do what you want, but end result far more useful.
