Is it just my computer or is it impossible to do a search on BF presently?

If it makes you feel better, I'm also getting error messages when I try.

Except for simple searches (like my own posts and maybe a simple word search in a thread), I just use my normal websearch page - site:bikeforums.net [search terms]

But,fwiw, I'm able to search on the site today.

Bikes: 2008 Novara Randonee - love it. Previous bikes:Motobecane Mirage, 1972 Moto Grand Jubilee (my fave), Jackson Rake 16, 1983 C'dale ST500.

I almost never use BF's search - too awkward and inaccurate. I just Google, including bikeforums.net as a search term, along with whatever I'm searching for. You can of course add other things like a username whose post you are looking for, and then filter further for time frame, etc. with the usual Google filters.
