Is it just my browser, or has the search function been down for a while now???

It's down until we've finished the new classifieds and the load on the db is relaxed

The problem with search is...

a) it breaks the rest of the forum
b) it doesn't work when too many people use it

So it's simply turned off until we're able to utilize a more robust technology.

The best way to search for something on pistonheads is through google by specifying site: pistonheads.com in the search box. For example...

bad parking site:pistonheads.com

Example: https://www.google.co.uk/search?aq=f&sugexp=ch...

Best,
