Ok I tested the searching just now...
and yes the searching is broken bigtime  :boohoo:

Luckily it should be dead ez to fix
just change an OR to an AND in the source code somewhere and *presto* all will be working again.

I was going to provide you a URL with the broken hits... but... Aminet is broken again...
Why is it that every time you update Aminet, the whole site disappears from the WWW?

Anyway just type in
Total Chaos AGA
into the search box
then you will get 4.2 gazillion hits
instead of just the few hits that are relevant.

The Aminet search was working correctly until sometime recently... maybe a couple of weeks ago?  I don't remember.. but I was searching for a gif library and it was really impossible since the searcher kept returning ALL libraries and ALL gifs instead of just gif libraries.  It was wack! :crazy:

The content search is broken.

I decided to search for a word which I invented, so there would be only a few occurrences of it.

Here is the Aminet URL

It searched for a long long time then it stopped with no results.

I typed the word into google and *POOF* it found them all instantly.
