The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Of course there is a possibility that the midrange.com servers will not
be able to handle all the increased traffic during those hours.
Similar to what happens when Slashdot and Digg users overload a site.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot_effect
The Slashdot effect is the term given to the phenomenon of a popular
website linking to a smaller site, causing the smaller site to slow down
or even temporarily close due to the increased traffic. The name stems
from the huge influx of web traffic that results from the technology
news site Slashdot linking to underpowered websites. However, it has
been used to describe the same effect when generated by other websites
or metablogs such as Fark, Stumble upon and Digg, leading to terms such
as the Digg effect or the link becoming Farked or Stumbled. Typically,
less robust sites are unable to cope with the huge increase in traffic
and become unavailable - common causes are lack of sufficient bandwidth,
servers that fail to cope with the high number of requests, and traffic
quotas. S
