You are not doing anything wrong. Searches using the sites engine often results in failure, more so for some users than others. This is a known issue resulting from the server being used beyond capacity (IIRC). They do want to upgrade the server, but have yet to do so. A quote from the news feed:
Patience, and the issues will eventually be resolved.Quote:

Okay, thanks for the tip!
I seem to be having the same problem. It started a few weeks ago. About half of all my searches got the error. I have tried searches using Internet Explorer, Firefox, and now Chrome. In the last week, I have received errors on all of my searches.
The best replacement for now is to use google and type "site:giantitp.com" followed by a space and insert whatever you're searching for.
Same thing. No more searching for a while.Quote:

Not as many as you'd think, considering this thread is older than the disablement... :smallwink:Quote:
