I've been using Tip It for years now, it really is my "go to" authority. That said, for the last week or so, whatever I enter into the "search" box comes back with: "We're sorry but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now." This is incredibly frustrating and thus forcing me to go to other sites to find my information. I don't want to leave Tip.it, but what's a girl to do??

It's based around Google, and yeah I've been having the same issues.

 

What are you trying to find exactly?

Thanks for alerting us to this problem. While we look for a solution, you can still search our website by prefixing your searches in Google with "site:www.tip.it", without the quotation marks. For example, to search for information on Nex, you'd type the following in your search bar:

site:www.tip.it Nex

Since our search feature is based off Google, it will provide you with the same results a search through our site's search feature would give you.

Thanks for the quick feedback! I really do prefer this site to any of the others out there. As to what I've searched - I can't possibly remember them all. I know that yesterday I was looking for the balloon transport system to see what logs I'd need to travel from Castle Wars to Entrana (crafting law runes). I finally gave up and checked another source (answer: plain logs). It probably took an hour before it dawned on to just look at the quest guide. :) But there are lots of thing I "search" for, either for myself or my 3 kids (who also play - they're the whole reason I ever started playing in the first place).

 

Anyway, it's nice to know I'm not alone (others are having the same problem) and that someone is actually working to fix the issue.

 

Happy gaming!

This has to do with an issue with google communicating with our site. We're working on resolving this as soon as possible.

This issue has now been resolved and the search function is now working properly again. :)
