I don't seem to be able to get the search function to work at all. This is what I get

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e31'

Timeout expired

/forums/search.asp, line 397

Any offers?

I'm having problems too. I was looking for Filters and got this:-

Sounds like I need to extend the timeout for the formum ASP scripts - this is due to the volume of data each search you make has to churn though.

Perhaps in the meantime, try limiting yoru search to the category you think the answer might be in as this will speed it up substantially.

It should be ok again now - I've just archived 16000 posts.

You can still search the archived posts if you don't find what you are looking for in the live posts - use the Archived Posts tickbox on the search page.
