FMP on their Facebook page has been apologising for at least 2 days. It’s not surprising that GR has also been effected.

Rang FMP yesterday as sometimes it was working and on other occasions I got the "OOPS we seem to be having trouble getting those results" (or quite however it's worded) - contact support or try later..

Apparently they were uploading loads of new information which caused the problem and support knew there was a problem. Apologies offered and I did get the email later, as promised, to say problem now resolved ! But it happens quite often, like again today, very frustrating when you're trying to use the site.

Newspapers are still working on FMP most probably because they use British Newspapers :-D

If anyone is using FMP the search issue is also affecting that website too :-(

Edit
It's not surprising because they use the same search engine :-(

The best thing you can do is to track down Phil Moir and put him in charge.
