I have tried searching for several locations. The location shows up in the list, but then returns "No Results". I searched for these same locations yesterday and found multiple results. Is the catalog down?

    @Jennifer Poland Yes, the catalog seems to not be working. Please report it directly to the cataloging team. Email [email protected]

    We will also report it through our channels to see if we can get someone looking at it quickly.

    I've often found that searching by keyword instead of place gives me better results in my catalog searches. Just tested some of my usual haunts, and the keyword search returned the records. Worth a try as a workaround until it's fixed.

    The Hungarian genealogy email list had several reports of this this morning, and I've verified that searching by place is not working for me, either. It says "no results" no matter what I try. Searching by film number works, though.
