I am encountering search problems. When I put in my text (for example: "problems with Mac update") I receive a error message.

There seems to have been a slight problem with the MacNN Forums database.
Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.
An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.


We apologies for any inconvenience.


I get this message all the time. Maybe 1 out of every 10 will go through usually after rewording my search sting.

This problem does not happen just on this computer but several computers.

Search has always been "iffy" at best; however, I've never had to search more than twice in a row to see results...

I've tried a dozen times in the past hour and I get the same message you are getting

I need to find out what's wrong with my friend's tibook and I know this particular topic has been talked about before!

Not sure what the deal is. Will look into it.

I've been having the same problem as well. It's driving me nuts, because I've been working on a list of problems to search for solutions to, but I can't...

Still having loads of problems. I cannot even make a search. I have this list of issues to work out and don't want to start new threads...

I also have the same problem. I've not been able to search on the forums for at least 2 weeks now.
