On the "Leader Resources" page, in the column down the right-hand side of the page is a little box titled "Church Handbook" that appears to allow searching in Handbook 1, Handbook 2, or both.
However, when I type a word in the text box and click the "Search" button it opens a new tab in the browser for search results, but there are never any results shown on the page (nor is there any error message).
Am I doing something wrong or is this just a bug?

Has to be a bug in Leader Resources. I can run a search on Handbook 2 on the Teaching and Learning page that has Handbook 2, and get multiple results. I ran the search here (note, after typing in your search, hit enter on your keyboard, the button below the search box is blank--has no text on the button, nor does it work).

I typed in 'baptism' (no quotes), and got 11 results.

Indeed, that seems to be the case. When you search for "baptism" from Leader Resources, for example, the URL is:
Code: Select all
https://www.lds.org/search?collection%3Dserving-in-the-church%26publication%3DHandbook%202%3A%20Administering%20the%20Church%26query%3Dbaptism
Code: Select all
https://www.lds.org/search?collection=serving-in-the-church&publication=Handbook%202%3A%20Administering%20the%20Church&query=baptism
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

The best avenue of report is by using the "Do You Have Feedback on This Page?" link on the bottom right of the page in a blue banner. With the recent update to LDS.org the old "Submit Feedback" link has been replaced by page specific links.

Interestingly enough, this page does not have a blue banner, but the search results page does, so I left the a message summarizing the info from this thread. Also, when you submit feed back, it shows the the referring link in box at the bottom of the page - sure enough it confirms aebrown's analysis of over-encoding.
Thanks.
Thanks.
