Wen i have tried to do a search any of the forums i get an "unexpected Error" message. I am running IE 8.0.6 with Vista Business.
the steps i have taken are: login, go to the forum i would like to search (Office Outlook) and type in anything such as "how" then select any of the search choices and then hit enter on the keyboard. it is then i get the "unexpected error" on
the screen in the left part of the screen with nothing else in the area where you would normally see a result.
"any of the forums"? I love overgeneralizations... ; )

Wow. It seems the UI has been changed. If you're using IE for your browser perhaps you had better try a Ctrl-F5. However, since this still doesn't find what you would be expecting it to find--e.g.
this thread, a more effective tack would be to try the equivalent search with Google web search...

You may have to wait for your particular thread to show up with that one. <eg>
Still, good to know that these forums are taking steps to help us avoid having to know their arcane search syntax!
Good luck
