Search problems again?

Over the last few days, 80%+ of the time I try a search the browser just sits there on "waiting for flyertalk.com" after I click search. Are there problems again?

It does work sporadically.

What is most frustrating is that after a few hours of periodically clicking search every few minutes with no success, it finally goes through and then gives me the whole "you can only search once every 15 seconds and must wait 6 seconds to search again" message. I hadn't had a successful/completed search all day. Of course, when I try again 10 seconds later it just hangs on "waiting for flyertalk.com".

Also, if there is a problem, do the moderators still have access to fast/reliable search? I may need to rely on one of them to find a thread for me.

I'm also unable to do any searches. I get the "unable to load this page" screen. It doesn't matter if I'm doing an advanced search or a "simple"
search. I've been unable to do any of my attempted searches the last two days! I give up after ~2-3 attempts, so I don't know if the searches will actually go through if I repeat often enough.

Continuing problems

I've had several problems with searching. The first few days I got error messages and "can't load" pages. But now, I'm getting nothing. That is, whether I'm searching from the search function on forums or threads or using the Advanced Search, nothing changes. My cursor changes to the hourglass for awhile, and it looks like something's loading, but then it stops loading and the page stays the same.

Help? Am I doing something wrong?

When performing search are you restricting to a particular forum? If so which forum?
