Search Suggestion Tool has no Results

related to Yahoo buyout?

[Quinn]

All keywords return no terms. Think they're shutting down the tool?

[moltar]

And now it doesn't work at all... :(

[jeremy goodrich]

If they shut down the suggestion tool, that would be huge news. No luck for me either right now.

[albert]

It doesn't even open ...

Bad news, need it right now.

[Imaster]

Heck you are right! Guess, this has got to do something with the new acquisition deal. Perhaps its time to bid a bye-bye to the excellent tool. I hope not! :(

[didit]

I can't imagine why this would be related to the Yahoo buyout, since the merger does not close till the end of the year. Could be a database issue. I can't see it being discontinued, althrough they could put it behind one of those verification codes.
If it isn't a glitch, then it is likely a change in function or accessability.

That sounds likely, though usually they announce stuff in their newsletters, right? Hm, must be a glitch, then. Perhaps server overload?

[jimbo_mac]

Back up again.
have fun :)

pheeewwwww....

I think this affected more people in real time than the whole Yahoo buying Overture :)

Now remember there is NO need to start storing your searches for every month on your chosen research keywords.

NOT like they will ever disable it.

[jeremy goodrich]

that's true, but they might decide to take it behind closed doors (or require sign up before you access it...) which I would NOT like :(

[Imaster]

God bless you, Overture ;)

[jpjones]

Its down again :(

This time even the search interface has been pulled.

[martinibuster]

It works for me...

[jpjones]

Well we're getting progress. The keyword search utility is up, but they're using a historic database. It seems like non of us apart from Overture had the Internet back in the days....

HTTP Error 406? I have never heard of that one and I know most of them lol

I must not be acceptable to Overture, oh well time for a new career. BTW the UK and US tools get the same error. Seems literally everything is offline.

[DaveN]

single keyword you get results

two keywords it errors.

Just spoke to Overture UK customer services. They say that the problem is just a temporary glitch.

They are not sure how serious the problem is, but their tech team are working on it ... and the tool should be back in action soon.
