The best thing you can do is to track down Phil Moir and put him in charge.

If anyone is using FMP the search issue is also affecting that website too :-(

Edit
It's not surprising because they use the same search engine :-(

Rang FMP yesterday as sometimes it was working and on other occasions I got the "OOPS we seem to be having trouble getting those results" (or quite however it's worded) - contact support or try later..

Apparently they were uploading loads of new information which caused the problem and support knew there was a problem. Apologies offered and I did get the email later, as promised, to say problem now resolved ! But it happens quite often, like again today, very frustrating when you're trying to use the site.

FMP on their Facebook page has been apologising for at least 2 days. It’s not surprising that GR has also been effected.
