There really needs to be a way to search the riffs. For example, I bought the X-Men RiffTrax a long time ago, and I was curious to see if it had been re-riffed as some other films have (I greatly prefer the "three riffer" versions of these re-riffed films).

The thing is, I can't find the X-Men riff that I bought, much less see if there are any other X-Men riffs on the site.

You really need a way to search the riffs.

There was a search but it seems to be gone with the new server switch. The A-Z title search for official RiffTrax is broken too (stops at T). I am sure once the holidays are over things will get back to normal.

BTW the only 3-Riffer "Upgrades" they have done were the public domain titles that Mike did solo for Legend Films before RiffTrax even started and the Missile To the Moon riff that had Fred Willard. They haven't done 3-Riffer versions of any of the other RiffTrax releases.

D'oh! I never noticed that it stops at T. I'll look into that.

I'm testing the search now, it works but the results page had to come down (it wasn't compatible with the upgraded code). Looking into alternatives as well.

Please add a "Go" or "search" button next to the search box.  Not everyone knows to just hit enter.

And when I hit enter, I don't get any results.  The lack of a search feature could cost Rifftrax money, because I try to find certain movies, and don't have time to go through every single page looking for it.

I get results just fine when I hit Enter. What are you searching for?

And what browser / OS are you using?

Agreed!  The Rifftrax library is too large to scan page after page looking for a movie.  With the short attention spam your customers have (I include myself) you're certainly losing sales.  Please fix the search and add an alphabetical listing option.

BTW I'm using IE8 on Vista

This shouldn't be an issue anymore. New search uses Apache solr which is wicked cool. There is also a 'sort by alphabetical' listing available as well.
