I noticed the search function has not been working for a couple of days.

If you ask simply to search for 'M3' or 'X3' nothing happens scratchchin (no comments about st cars being searched please wink )

I have also just tried to do a generic search for 'BMW' and it hangs.....

Any thoughts?

For load reasons the search requires a minimum of 3 characters to work, so "M3" or "X5" will never work.

Aside from that we have been having a few problems with the search, especially in the mornings. What time was it when you were trying to search?

Ah, that may make some sense then.

"BMW X3" will bring back quite a lot of results, or alternatively you can use google by typing in the following: sitetongue outistonheads.com/gassing x3

Thanks Mr Will

Still not bringing up X3 specific results unless I am doing something very wrong, but it's better!

Include the speech marks, or use the exact phrase function in the advanced search!
