Not a question: Rootsearch not working properly again. [closed]

Question

I have been having trouble getting Rootsearch to work consistently over the past few weeks when trying to get to FamilySearch and Ancestry. I have tried different search engines and get the same results. With FamilySearch, I always have to enter it twice and sometimes it will go through, with Ancestry I get the following statement: 

This page isn’t working

If the problem continues, contact the site owner.

HTTP ERROR 400

Is anyone else having this problem?

 

Comments

I use this feature several times a day and haven't experienced that problem. Googling Error 400 implies that the problem could be that the request is corrupted at your end by your server maybe?  I have no tech knowledge and no idea how to solve the problem.

Answer 1

I get it all the time and just shut it down and try again.   It usually works, but not always!

FamilySearch gives me this statement: We are unable to display search results due to technical difficulties. Please try searching again in a few minutes.

RootsSearch is the place this is coming from rather than Rootsweb.  I used to get them confused all the time, but I now see why they are different.  :-)

I, also, have encountered this a lot this afternoon.  Much more than usual, in my opinion.

FamilySearch has been giving me technical difficulties sporadically for a few days. Today was so bad that I couldn’t get anything, but I haven’t checked since this afternoon.

Answer 2

Its actually driving me crazy....... 

(Note to familysearch)

This is not an inconvenience family search, this is due notice...

"Family Search will be unavailable as we make improvements to the site starting Monday, January 22nd at 7:00 am (UTC-00:00) and lasting about 4 hours. We apologize for the inconvenience."

This is inconvenient:

We are unable to display search results due to technical difficulties. Please try searching again in a few minutes.
