Ok, thanks to someone who PMed me a different thread, I have found the problem. It appears that it is NOT browser dependent, rather, in my and many other's case, Norton's is blocking anandTech from obtaining information about sites we have visited. If you enable (permit) anandtech to obtain information about which sites you have visited, then the search function works. Apperantly, the error is caused by not being able to obtain the info on visited sites. This requirement started this past weekend. I'm not sure if Jason implemented it in his updated search function on purpose, or by accident, or if some other software changed about the same time, but now to search, you must enable anandtech to get info from your browser on visited sites. I think this is an invasion of privacy. There is no reason they should require it, and I haven't checked their privacy statement, to see how they are using it.
Jason, was this done by you or by Anandtech? Was it accidental or intentional??
