I was trying to Search to bring up the text authority for "Afflicted saint, to Christ draw near", and it brought up these results, whose column headers are completedly wrong for the data involved, even though the links bring up the correct pages, i.e. the first "English" link does bring up the text authority I was looking for, and the "John Fawcett" link correctly brings it up, too, and the length list of topics under "Tune Name" does bring up UXBRIDGE (Mason).

Just now I was trying to Search for the text "O how happy are they", and got this result! The first result *was* the correct one in spite of the wrong wrong wrong content of virtually every fiedl. On this picture I have added the first lines the links go to. in reality.

No sooner had I posted the above reply detailing another occurrence of last night's glitch that... it apparently stopped making that mistake, whatever it was. It now produces the right stuff in the right columns!

It mystifies me. I still can generally use the results, but I need to bear in mind that what they  "say" bears no relationship to what they *are* in terms of links.

It looks like you are commenting at 3 am Eastern Time. The search engine is being reindexed in the wee hours of the morning. While this is happening the search results will be goofy..
