14 Jan 23 - 02:10 PM (#4162462) Subject: Search failure From: sleepyjon Was I doing something stupid? - I put in a search term "songs for Burns night" (Not sure if it required a ' in Burns' so I tried a search for just "Burns") - all I got in both cases was "An error occurred while executing the application. Please try again or contact the administrator." Maybe it's an age thing - ? SJ |

Just above where the threads list starts theres a box marked Filter. - Type burns night in the box - Change Age 7 Days to All - Click Refresh |
