I’ve been aving problems with search - as in, IT doesn’t. After entering the pertinent information, and hitting ‘search’ it just cycles back to the advanced search page, and doesn’t actually give any results. Anyone else having this problem? Any idea what might be causing it?

I just did three separate basic searches and they all seemed to work OK.
