Problem with APOD search function

I like to browse through Astronomy Picture of the Day's archives using the search function. This evening I tried bringing up something on the Eight-Burst Nebula, which is in there somewhere. It said "nothing found." I then tried "nebula" and "eight". Same result. To test it, I tried searching in succession for "nebula,' "star," and a couple of other things, and got the same result, which is to say, "nothing found." I'm not sure who to notify about this problem. What can I do about it?

Just try this search string in Google:

Eight-Burst Nebula site:antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov

Yes, Google works.
But the APOD search function still doesn't work... and the link to the SWISH-E online documentation page doesn't work either:

Needs looking into, IMO.

I think the search function is experiencing a problem as it won't even find todays APOD when entering the title.
