Search Troubles
Every time I try to search for anything using the search function in the top bar, I am given a 500 Internal Server Error. Is this happening for anyone else? Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Search Troubles
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:

In the mean time, feel free to try using a google search with "site=giantitp.com" as part of the search.

Re: Search Troubles
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.
I underwent "Specialized High Intensity Training" for the English language. My training focused on avoiding abbreviations and acronyms. Not all of them are a good thing.

Re: Search Troubles
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.
