Hi stevenoone, I'm afraid you'll have to forgive my frustration, as we've had a lot of problems with this lately, but if you abandon this framework out of an inability to enter a search query into the text box in the upper right-hand corner of the page, then I can't say I'll be sorry to see you go. This exact question has already been answered here more times than I care to count.
