Is there another problem with the search function?

No matter what I search for I get “Please specify either some search words or a username to search by” as a response.

Am I doing something wrong?

I get the same problem if I search for new posts since I last logged in and then try to access the **[Next page]** of them.

Should be fixed now, please let me know if it’s not.

Sorry for your inconvenience.
