I keep getting an error message whenever I try to search.
Advanced Search works.
Right. There’s a link to it in the Search dropdown box. Try This link, in case it doesn’t show up for you.
Advanced search also isn’t working for me. Whenever I type something in and hit search, it just refreshes the page.
Try clearing your browser cache. How you do that depends on which browser you have, of course. See this tread (near the end somewhere) for Firefox and IE.
I just cleared the cache and advanced search isn’t working for me, either. I just get a refresh like **Freudian Slit **described.
I didn’t clear my cache, but I tried again, and now I can search all of a sudden…I’m not really sure what’s going on.
The “new posts” link is working for me, though.
Drunk hamsters. I dunno, really. I don’t think it’s server side, since search works fine for me, but then I haven’t used it all that much. If I think of anything else you folks who still can’t search can try, I’ll post back later.
ETA: I suppose you could try clearing cookies, too. I doesn’t sound like the sort of problem that would be caused by corrupt cookie files, but other than logging you out and maybe losing a few settings and such on various websites, there’s no harm in trying.
I tried just using the simple search, and this is what I got:
I cleared my cache, and it still doesn’t work.
I get the same thing. There’s something in the announcement about it; Jerry suggests using Advanced Search for now. Obviously, that’s not an option for some people right now. Hopefully, he’ll be made aware of the issue in due time.
I can’t get search to work either, so you aren’t alone.
When I click the Search tab nothing happens, except that a message appears on the bottom bar: “Done, but with errors on page”.
I’m suddenly unable to search again, hmm. Okay, I’m assuming this is some kind of website problem, and NOT a problem on my end, though.
Try it in the “Advanced” section; that seemed to work fine for me.
ETA. Listen to Johnny LA. He knows what he’s talking about. 
I was doing advanced search, and that one wasn’t working either.
ETA: Okay, it suddenly is working again. Weird.
Erm…I fixed it. Yeah. shifty eyes
When I click on Search to get to Advanced Search, it works in some forums and does nothing in others. 
Search (advanced) has stopped working for me suddenly, in any browser.
