Miguel Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hi , I can't seach anything on Alamy. ie. i type in a word or a image code - and nothing happens when i click the search 'magnifying glass'. This is using Google. If I search on main page - whatever I type in - gets deleted when i press search button. I uninstalled and then reinstalled Google and still happening .It was all fine until yesterday afternoon. Using firefox seems to be ok - so looks like problem my side?? Is anyone / has anyone experienced this and has an idea what has happened? Does anyone - ALAMY - have a way to resolve this please?

Niels Quist Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I had to reinstall Google Chrome about two weeks ago. After that I face the same problems. You can sometimes search from Alamy's front page - but not from the actual thumbnail pages or "My Alamy" page. Sometimes I have to use two browsers. I thought of it as an update from either Google or Alamy that doesn't fit this particular system. It may also be a setting, but I cannot figure out which one.

Miguel Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Exactly Niels - If I search front page - i get nothing 'All Images' but if I select only photographs then it works. Under "My Alamy" nothing works. Also can't figure out setting hence me asking here if anyone knows how to resolve this - Alamy, any help? mig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Yes, I also noticed the trick about selecting "photographs" from the Alamy front page. But it sometimes only works once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Are you using Windows 10, Miguel? Just thought if a Windows update could be the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesC Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I have the same problem this morning using Chrome. I can type in the search box, but pressing the magnifying glass does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hi Everyone. It's ages since I contributed to the forum, though I do read it. I can't search using Google Chrome and Windows 10. I've tried using 'photographs' but that doesn't work either. I can only search topics from the home page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Though I am not the original poster, I appreciate the later comments, thanks.I have just had a major update to Windows 10 - and having tried the search function in Google Chrome from My Alamy page a few times, IT SEEMS TO WORK NOW EDITED: Unfortunately it only works sometimes.... Will find out when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Still no luck searching with Windows 10 and Google Chrome. I had an update from Windows 10 about ten days ago. I think I have been able to search since then, but not now. Frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Just had a new update from Windows 10, but I still can't search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 tx for all feedback Am on Windows 7 - as of today problem still exists - Alamy reads these posts don't they ? - Alamy why is this happening? mig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
