Search problems? "Site Busy"

Howdy all you heavy users. I'm having problems searching past ads that I have never encountered before.

Seems no matter how much or how little information I enter I get only a red "Site Busy" message. I thought I knew what I was doing but perhaps it is me.

Just thought I'd see if anyone has any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong. I'm trying to look and see what a Meade tripod has been selling for recently. If I enter Meade Tripod, or Tripod, or Meade Field Tripod and set the date back to January or so I get "Site Busy".

Well you get the gist. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

The best way to do it is to search without specifying a date. Set the appropriate section of the classifieds, but don't specify a date. That works every time for me. For some reason the system doesn't seem to handle dates very well.

The results you get when not specifying a date will still be sorted by date, so it should work well enough for what you are trying to do.
