What I thought was not working was slower than expected performance, sometimes so slow that the browser times out waiting. If I am patient and try enough times I eventually get results. As an example I searched for CVS. I got the first of ten pages of results and then pressed the icon for the second page. I got a response after 45 seconds. Some other pages responded in less than 10 seconds. When I started searching on Saturday I was unlucky and got the browser timeout the first time. After that I assumed that a long delay ment that it was going to fail again and impatiently terminated the search before getting a result.
