Has anyone else had this problem with free BMD today? Everything I put in comes back with 'no matches', even though there were matches there before. I came off in the end because I felt I was wasting my time! Ann Glos

It seems that you are right - I just tried with no success.

It's been fine for me today - just too popular, so sometimes you get the 'server busy' message.

I just used FreeBMD and it's working fine for at the moment but at the top of my search page this message has appeared........ FreeBMD is very busy At the moment. FreeBMD is a victim of its own success. So many people are trying to search that we are having trouble coping with all the searches. If your search fails, please keep trying! This may be the cause of your problems Shelli
