About a month ago it lost all its formatting and function. I miss it.

What browser or device?

Brave on Linux Mint.

This is what it looks like, and clicking on any of the results gives error messages.

Mine looks like that if I use the Threadloom search option, but if I use the Xenforo option it's formatted normally.

Yeah, that's odd because I used to be able to sort by date and such. But, at least I get viable results with Xenforo.

Firefox on OSX is broken for me. Keeps asking that I refresh browser.

Just now I found in user preferences where to select "use default search engine" which fixed the issue entirely.

Curious, what was it set to for you? Mine is currently set to use default search. There are options for Threadloom or Xenforo

Most search engines will let you search a specific site using:

searchterm site:siteurl

Example:

browning bps site:www.indianagunowners.com

This will work for most sites, not just INGO.

I'm not certain, but neither option in the menu that appears when clicking the search icon at the top right works correctly for me.

"Home > Preferences > Preferred search method: Use default search" is the only way I've found to fix the problem I was having.

Yes, that's a handy tip. The problem I was having is that the search results on INGO were a jumbled mess until I found the above fix.
