I just tried a couple of searches and the search engine worked fine.

Perhaps more details of your attempts at using the search will help nail down the trouble.
Or it might just be that the site "mechanics" had a couple of functions turned off while they were tweaking the site software.

It happened to me yesterday tried searching the term nc and it found nothing. Is the search function case sensitive?

Well I wish i knew. I've searched for things I've posted and there not even coming up. I even tried searching for stuff that is in reciant posts, that I can just scroll down from the latest ones and that info dos'nt even come up. Got me Ieven searched for anything on 22.5 wheels, and i know there are tons of posts on them, because it has been talked about. But still it just showes no matches found.

What was your exact search parameter? "22.5" shows nothing, "22.5 wheel" comes up with a LOT.

Some things to keep in mind with searching.. Spelling counts.... Search will literally try to find what you type. If you blow the spelling, most likely, you are going to come up empty.

Keep your search parameter to a minimum. Whatever you type into that search block is going to be looked for. 3 letter characters or less are ignored. So "NC" is a bogus search parameter. So is WVa.
