I'm also getting the garage search problem. It just redirects me to the forum page

[me and my metro]

I have to tap the icon three different times to get the site to load. The site starts to load then drops out and I get a 404 code. Always loads on the third try. iPad

Garage search still not working - but there is a workaround:
When you're in the garage the URL will show
ecomodder.com/forum/emgarage.php
Just manually append this with the database query and it will work. Examples:
?year=1999 or ?make=ford or ?model=mustang
To combine attributes you concatenate with the & symbol. Example:
?year=1999&model=mustang
In this case the full string would look like:
ecomodder.com/forum/emgarage.php?year=1999&model=mustang
Then hit the enter key and the search will return the requested results

It's a temporary solution - hopefully it works with all browsers....

So I did a bit more work on the Garage Search issue, and it looks like it can be fixed with an edit to only one line of the html code for the page.

Where the original line 654 for the submit search button is:
<form method="POST" action="emgaragesearch.php">

This should be revised to:
<form action="emgarage.php">

I used the following for testing the code from off-site:
<form action="xttp://ecomodder.com/forum/emgarage.php">
(the x in the xttp should be an h.....I can't post url's yet)

When I used the reference "emgaragesearch.php" in testing it causes the re-direct to the forum root page. Changing this to "emgarage.php" avoids the exception.

When I used the method="POST" which should suppress the display of the query in the URL bar - it also seems to be preventing the query from being received by the database server, which then returns the first (1000) records as it would by default when not receiving any constraints.

Removing the method="POST" avoids the suppression and returns the correct subset of records.

I've tested this on Chrome / Explorer / Firefox and it looks OK.

Apologies everyone for not sorting this out yet... but it's not a bug, it's a feature.

We intentionally disabled search. It'll be back. I'll be working on it tomorrow.

4matic: Thanks for caring enough.

but it's not a bug, it's a feature.

Like when you Quote text with italics, vBulletin italicizes the quote, but doesn't un-italicize the italicized parts?

Drives me cra-cra.

The last couple of days I've been seeing this error message bannered above the ecomodder headline when I login:

TLDR; one thing happens from line 55 to line 111. Includes is the directory where the PHP that drivers vBulletin resides. Software bickering amongst itselves.
