... doesn't appear to be working.

I am getting no results when I search for words that are definitely there!
Gone ... or have I?

    Sorry about that, we've got an issue with our Forum search server at the moment. We're working on now.

    I empathise completely:

    "ok search for xy...... hmmm I'd have thought somebody would have posted xy......... wait a minute I'm sure I'VE posted xy before. Has my post been deleted I wonder. Will try more general x, ....well that's odd. Well I'll try generic "a word"....... looks like search forum seems to be broken. Hope it's not just me. Will check site feedback board."

    Hi when i type something in the search option it keeps saying that it can not be found, no matter what i type in, normally i type in lush to find that thread and it says can not be found, it won't find anything. Is anyone else having this problem, its only started today.

    It's probably going to be down all weekend unfortunately. We've had new servers fitted in the last day or so to help with the capacity issues, but the search has had to go off as part of the integration
