Is the search engine on this site going to be fixed anytime soon?  There was once a time in which you would type in a movie title and a list of riffs for that movie would appear.  Now the search doesn't work at all.  What gives?

Works for me too.  At least for official Rifftrax, doesn't seem to pull up iRiffs or Rifftrax Presents titles.

We'd need more info than just "it doesn't work at all." What's your browser and OS? Have you tried other browsers?

I am using Windows XP and Internet explorer.  Also, there is no search button next to the text box.  I just press "enter"

where are you searching from? if it's http://forum.rifftrax.com, then it'll just search the forums, not the main site.

There's the issue. Internet Explorer doesn't like the Javascript that's being used for the autocomplete, and I haven't had a lot of time to troubleshoot exactly why.

Your best option (not just for our site, but for yourself) is to abandon using IE and use something like Firefox or Chrome.

I tried Firefox, but whenever I enter in a movie to search and press enter, it just displays a big blank blue space.
