I saw the different problems in this post, but what I see is worse:

Repro:

  1. log into area51 with Chrome 5.0.375.99 beta on Windows 7
  2. type "television shows" in the proposal search box
  3. hit enter

Expect:

  • Some results show up while I type ... and/or
  • Results show up after hitting enter

Observed:

  • Nothing happens while typing or after hitting enter

  • Repro'd on FF, Chrome, IE on Win7. Is there a workaround? Eg. A query string I can enter in the address bar?

    Repro on IE7, Vista. There's an "Error on page" dialog also that says Line: 2 Char: 9372 Error: Object expected.

  • Checking back with IE8 on XP, I see the same error that mmyers reports. A manual workaround, by the way, is enter http://area51.stackexchange.com/search?q= into your URL, and then add your search term to the end. It only works once, though, because the redirect you end up on won't have the same URL. But try it with, say, area51.stackexchange.com/search?q=television+shows

This was caused by a typo in our JavaScript. It's fixed now.

Possible Workaround:

Click Create a New Proposal , and in the Choose a Topic, enter your query. Start typing in the Who is this site for box while your search results are loaded. (Do not click next, do not actually create the proposal).

It doesn't seem to respond well to more complicated queries with + and [ ] etc, but it is a simple search workaround.
