Tried both aol.com and search.aol.com and neither of them have aol's engine on them anymore..... is this still available somewhere?

Thanks RC, I've always just used aol.com and it kind of freaked me out this morning to see it gone....

Strange...I still use search.aol.com. aol.com still seems to have a search field as well, sandwiched between the AOL Anywhere section and the Shop@aol section.

Was this problem just a temporary one?

"Was this problem just a temporary one?"

not for me....... when I go to aol.com all I get is an AOLTV site that has no search fields what so ever.

And when I go to search.aol.com I get a page not found message......

Anybody else seeing this?

Not me. I get the search box on IE5 and NS4.

this is definitely odd.......I've tried it on 3 different machines (all on the same IP)... All three get the aoltv page with netscape 4.7.... 2 of the 3 get the aoltv page with IE5 and one gets the normal page with IE5.....

Or try [netfind.aol.com...]

Everything working here.

Update: When I came in this morning everything was back to working perfectly, must of been something temporary. I'm still curious why it didn't affect everyone, possibly some kind of IP (regional?) or used agent based targeting....
