Yep. Searching was borked awhile ago, but it seems OK now. But ya gotta remember guys... this New site design (http://forums.winamp.com/announcement.php?s=&forumid=11) has and apparently is still having some glitches (http://forums.winamp.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=164).

Give it time. Give it time. ;)

For the search stuff, as a workaround try a Google (http://www.google.com/) search with the following Operators/filters as part of the search query

Music or Videos

artist/group or title here site:www.winamp.com/media/music-artist
-or-
artist/group or title here site:www.winamp.com/media/video-artist


Plug-ins
search keyword(s) here site:www.winamp.com/plugins/details -inurl:reviews -inurl:opinion

Hey JM...

Have you tried Google's new Searchmash (http://***********mash.com/) yet?
You won't see the Google brand anywhere there, and it's really awesome...

And of course, there's the engine that I use now more than Google these days... Ask.com (http://www.ask.com)

No, I hadn't tried that before. Thanks

The search Operators mentioned in the previous post works there as well.

Anyways, as another alternative you can "manually" search Winamp.com via your browser's address bar...
