Companies sometimes have 2 versions of their site. One is for a desktop
computer, the other is mobile friendly meaning a mobile phone can access
it with no problems. The desktop site is loaded with things that make
the site look good on a desktop computer namely graphics. The mobile
site does not use much in the way of graphics because mobile phones
aren't as powerful as a desktop computer. They tend to be more text
based. From what I've seen, the folks at FS tend to use the mobile site
for programming the research it feature because it is easier to work
with. So whe the mobile site goes down, so does research it.
A perfect example of what I'm talking about is facebook. Have a look at
the main site, www.facebook.com. Then compare it to m.facebook.com,
which is the mobile site. You will find that the mobile site is faster
and easier to use than the main site.

So does this mean that when you use the research feature on the
computer, it should work because it doesn't. I guess I'm a little
confused as to what you mean by desktop.

In this case, it's not the research it causing the issue. The mobile
site which was m.wund.com is down. So when that happens, it redirects
to www.wunderground.com which is the desktop site. The research it
feature doesn't know how to interact with the desktop site, which
causes it to say that it couldn't find any results. I'm not for sure
on this, but I thought FS had a way to program new items into the
research it function. Either that or they were going to make a way
for this to be done. If they haven't done this, it would be a useful
feature to add.

It's not working on the computer here either. Any suggestions for
other quick searches on the computer? Could it be that the research
feature for weather is having an issue? I know this has happened
before.

Looks like Weather Underground has changed and the mobile site is
either
down or no longer available. When I go to m.wund.com, it pulls up
the full
desktop site. Additionally, when I try to do a lookup using the
weather
research-it feature, it says it can't find any results.
