Trying to search for Need for Speed Pro Street for Wii, but it keeps saying "Search is currently unavailable". Even tried refreshing the page and it didn't work.

What's going on?

Looks like the search is down in general, I tried searching for a vartiety of games, with and without console specifics and this is what I received.



I don't know if they are just updating something and it's currently down (happens sometimes here) or if something is really wrong. I'm also using Firefox 3.5.3, it also didn't work on IE8. I don't know about other browsers.

Broken here as well. (Vintage Firefox.) I'm going to edit the title and pin this. Since search used to work (more or less) I hesitate to call it a BUG, but it would certainly be a very hard GLITCH... So I'm going with BUG. In the mean time, you can use yahoo and google as fallbacks. Just include site:gamespot.com in the search and with luck you should eventually be able to find what you are looking for. For the OP, here is Need for Speed ProStreet (Wii). Let's hope this one doesn't last long.

strangely enough tag search works fine, if you click on the "tags" link above the search box and type in your query it works fine

Looks like I'm getting reasonable search results again here too. Thanks to the guys who pushed the right buttons! I'll unpin for now. If the issue returns, let us know...
