Airport Code Lookup

Is the airport code lookup broken? My search results just put up a page of computer code. Another attempt sent me a 404 error page.

Airport look-up codes

There used to be a link for the airport look-up codes but it seems to have disappeared or been moved. It was very useful for the odd destination that I am not au fait with. Could somebody please point me in the right direction ?

Over in the FT support forum it is acknowledged that it broke a while back, and because it was bespoke to Flyertalk (no software shared any other IB Forums) it was decided not to fix it as most people will just use Google to do any lookups. Other search engines are available.

To expand slightly on post 2, putting 'iata GRU' (for example, without the quotes) into a search engine will give you the airport with that code.

I tend to just type it into the FlightConnections.com website, though Google also works.
