    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    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.

    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

    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:

    Name:  google.png
Views: 351
Size:  25.1 KB

    The second as reffered by all the others.

    From Darrel's site http://dt.cambs.net looks OK.

    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.
