Anyone else having problems? Is it broken again?
If it was broken then it's good now. Sometimes the SysAdmin takes the Search server off-line for short periods (or long ones ) but it always comes back up.
Google search is good for general searching, but the Advanced Search function can be very specific.

Nope, still broken. It's doing something rather odd. It seems to be unable to read any postings more recent than 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. Not sure why.

You're right, there seem to be no results returned more recent than July 6th. Earlier today I could not get in to the Forum, got SQL errors. That's database related. Could mean we were hacked again, could simply mean database corruption of some type. I'm sure it will be back again tomorrow. The fact that it was out earlier and is not now pretty much guarantees that it has been worked on.
It WAS working for a couple of weeks, but is acting screwy again: It fails to recognize any search hits that were posted in the last 3 weeks or so. Anything older than that still comes up.
