Maybe you have been infected with a spam bot?

I suspect the flaw (or redirection) is on Google's end. Darrel's Special Search was not being found for the past few weeks from here (Cincinnati). I haven't tried the one in the referenced thread out of concern that it may be infesting my machine with unspeakable afflictions. I had Darrel's original link bookmarked - it's still broken.
Re: PBasicForum Special Google Page
Sorry about that.
But unless I pay Google $100/yr, it only allows so many searches per month.
The other "Custom Search" on that page is still working, it seems to get less traffic.
Not sure why because i spent much more time refining that search, and I think it works much better.
You can also find that one here ... http://dt.cambs.net
Re: PBasicForum Special Google Page
Ok, Thank You, it didn't occur to me that it costs actual money (as opposed to virtual money?) to do that, I will change out all the computers I have enabled to use that page to a standard Google except the 1 I use to do PBP projects in, and that one will probably get the other one you referenced. I always thought the adverts covered the cost. If you pass the collection plate, I am willing to ante' up.

On the first search tool at "A better Search tool for the Forum" page, it gives me this:
Attachment 5673
The second as reffered by all the others.
From Darrel's site http://dt.cambs.net looks OK.

Re: PBasicForum Special Google Page
Moderators and Administrators will get that error and cannot use that page.
Vbulletin's in-line moderator form interferes with the search form.
Normal users don't have the problem.
If you log out and try the page, it'll work.
http://dt.cambs.net doesn't have that issue.
Edit: I just tried to make a change and messed it all up. :(
Re: PBasicForum Special Google Page
OK Darrel, since it works with a normal user thats OK. Do not worry more about it.
