I was not sure where to put this question, but decided on this forum because it is where the sticky about Site Comber is located.
I am familiar with the sticky on "How to Search on SoapMakingForum Like a Pro" and have used Site Comber a number of times over the years. However, the format seems to have changed recently. It used to be that when you went to the web address, there were two empty fields. The first was for your search term and the second for the site that you wanted to search within.
Now, it takes me to a page with only one field and promotional information on how to integrate Site Comber into your own webpage. If I type anything into the empty field (or nothing at all) and press enter, it takes me to the page that I am familiar with but with a long entry in the second field. I delete that and enter information into the search fields such as Awapuhi under "For:" and www.soapmakingforum.com under "Within:"
Typically, a list of results should appear beneath the fields. I could click on them to link to pertinent threads or posts. Now, no results appear, but the page seems to transfer my search term to a tiny Amazon engine in the right corner. All of the ads along the margins switch to Awapuhi-themed items on Amazon (in this case, a number of Paul Mitchell Awapuhi hair care products.):think:
Is the problem all on my end or do you guys experience the same thing if you try to utilize Site Comber now? I did not think that I was computer illiterate, but am a bit stymied right now.
Thanks in advance for any help.
