Is it something in my browser , PC or is the search function not working well? I'm kind of lost without it , I find myself asking all sorts of stupid questions. Fortunately everyone has been very helpful.

I nominate Frog Man to completely re write the search code so that it provides access to the vast treasure trove that is the Bad Web Archives. Ok, Froggy?

Badweb is the Tuber of Web Forums. Outdated, clunky, not very reliable, and the character of the unit makes it worthwhile.

I don't think it is just you. If you get the search narrow enough, it will probably work.

Yup. Narrow it down, and be patient. Just search XB board, or KV for your info. It does not work well for me if I search "all of badweb". Anything beyond that.....well.....just doesn't apply to me.

I found out that you cannot search the BackFireBoard. Let sleeping dogs lie, I guess.

Or even easier, click the Google link at the top of EVERY page. What issues are you guys having? If you are getting the white screen, try doing a search just limiting to just one section like Xboard, and also try limiting the search to a certain time period like 30 days for example. We are working on it, it seems to be related to the database getting screwy with the archives. quote: I found out that you cannot search the BackFireBoard.
We are doing you a favor! You should be able to, make sure you are logged in. You should be able to see the BRAN too in the search list.

Maybe I'm blind. Maybe you can only search the back fire board if you are an administrator...you tell me, I logged in and took this screen shot:

I found that even very simple searches yield in a white screen. I just tried a simple search known to have failed before and now it's working. Cool things are looking up!
