Seach function on our site

[prh77]

When I do a search on our site using the search icon along the top, for the last few months I get a message from Google that my machine is sending automated messages and no search is possible. It happens with my old laptop and desktop. Just got a new laptop, first thing I checked was search funtion. Same deal. Machine is too new to be infected, problem with our site? I miss the search function, very helpful.

This happens to me also, however only if I am not logged in.

Once I log in the search works fine.

Happens when I am logged on, just checked...from yet another brand new friends computer. Hmmm

I just tried a search and it worked fine.

Just checked two items; 'battery chargers' & 'dinghy', & the search site worked just fine.

I just utilized the search icon and had no issues. 
Don't exactly know what to tell you but as I did a search at Google I came across a couple of fixes.
 
Malware comes in all shapes and sizes and can quickly end up on a new machine.

Hope this provides some help.

I did a search on "batteries" and not only did it work, but I got lost in internet land for quite a while.

I think this is referred to as a spambot.

I have the same issue. I can search the forum OK, using it's search feature, but the google search gives me the same error.  I bet a lot of people have this issue, but usually use the forum search once they are logged in instead of the google search.  I have never been able to use the google search located here: http://www.c34.org/c34-search.html

I never used the google search. I just tried as you mentioned, and it too did not work. I came up with an error message.
