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. :thumb:
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. :abd:

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.
Thanks all for the quick replies. Guess I have computer issues

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

OK....I am not crazy. I just tryed the forum search and it worked fine. The search I am talking about is the same one Eric provided a link to in the previous post. It is on the home page ,top, to the leftt. Thanks Eric, never noticed the forum search.
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. :shock:
