Is the search engine down?

I was trying to find a reply from a user to my thread because the user sent me a gift. I searched what I thought was the appropriate forum, advanced, with the exact name and no match. I searched the same forum for my user name and no matches even though I could see my post.

So, do we know if there is maintenance going on with vBulletin, the software provider?

I'm not aware of any maintenance issues, Rosemary. Also, I did several advanced searches for your username and in most forums there were lots of hits. Not sure what that's about. Not knowing what your precise search was, I can't duplicate it, but it's not looking as if there's any problem... Have you tried again?
