Hi James, thanks for flagging this up. I noticed this "bug" (as we web folks like to call them) on Friday evening not long after we went live and we've notified our developers of the problem.

It's clear other people will notice it too - so credit to you for raising it here! I'll keep people updated here as to when it's fixed, which shouldn't be long. We're sorry for the inconvenience caused in the meantime.

Hi all, the search has been fixed now - both the overall CIMAsphere search and the Community Directory search.

Martyn - good point. Searching around location was something we considered, but given that we eventually decided we were going to let people describe their location in free text (rather than giving them the fixed drop-down list of all the countries globally) so they could add more granularity if they wanted (ie their town / city or region as well) we couldn't make a precise location-based search function work with that free text option.
