Title: Search Engine
Post by: hockey101 on February 13, 2013, 05:33:01 PM

Hello everyone, I am new and I was trying to do a search on half-life and for some reason it kept saying "Did you forget to search for something"  Am I doing something wrong?

You mean our internal search engine? I just tried and it works for me.

I don't have any problems of the sort you describe -- the search page stays open for me.  Maybe you could try an advanced search using Google, and specify the chemicalforums.com domain.

my computer said after I did the advanced search, there was a problem with the webpage which made Internet Explorer open the page again...what is that suppose to mean?  Does that mean i have a virus?

There's no absolute guarantee, but try to ask it plainly and clearly anyway. ;)

Have you tried to use some other browser?

Yes, it can mean your browser/computer is infected. It doesn't have to.

Which Windows, which IE version?
