Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but when I did a search for a Specialized product, I got this message:


1. Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : specialized

Is anyone else getting this too? I figure "specialized" isn't really THAT common a word and since it's also a big brand name, it would be tough to find stuff without using that.

Thanks!

There seems to be a problem with the search function at the moment. The tech people have been notified, so I would assume that they are hard at work fixing the problem.

In the meantime, try this:

google.com

site:bikeforums.net specialized

This gives you around 25,200 hits...

And welcome to Bike Forums!

Indeed there is an issue with Search at the moment. I have no ETA at the moment, and hopefully there are some mice in the server being given a stern talking to in order to get them back to work fetching our results.

Google works better than the site search engine even when it is working properly anyway.
