Not able to search on aol.com

How long will this go on?

It looks like due to the superbowl ads for AOL, you can no longer search on aol.com. How long will this take place? No search, means no dollars for google or aol due to sponsored links, and less clicks for us.

I have notice this for a couple of days. I would imagine if you are a AOL member you could see the normal search screen. You can view the search screen at search.aol.com.

It's been like this for over a week. And I've seen no drop in referrals from AOL.

Interesting.

I don't have any background info on this, but I just went to AOL, and did a little exploring.

Turns out that adding '/search' to AOL's address will get you right to a search page as well.

Yes, but which customer out there knows to add search at the end of the URL? Not many.
