Is anyone else having a problem when doing a search and trying to get the most recent questions?

For the past several days, whenever I try to search answers for a specific topic and try to find the newest questions regarding the keyword, I get the same questions. Is anyone else having the same problem?

    Yes, for over a week. There's a settings wheel icon top right, click on it, choose 'suggestions' (I think), 'answers' from the long list of what you can pick from there and then you'll see all the glitch complaints...

    I've not been able to get a new question in any of my usual haunts. The "Relevant" list of ancient questions comes up and then when you try 'newest" or "most answsers" and the same ancient list pops up under each....idiots

    This has been a problem for about a whole week or so.

    In the meantime you can use the "My saved searches" function that has replaced the "Advanced search" feature that used to be part of the old green format.

    The other 1000 people that have asked this same question are having the same problem. It is a glitch, the staff know, and they have no timetable to fix it. The Suggestion Board is full of discussion.

    Yes. The search is broken. There are a couple of dozen questions about it, and several issues on the suggestion board,

    I think it's the North Koreans. They've hacked into the Yahoo! computers.

    Yeah. It is most likely an error which Yahoo has to correct.
