Australia Death Index Search not working!!

The search of the Australian Death Index database appears to be seriously broken. I haven't been able to get any hits in some time.

e.g. Searching for the last name "Lindsay" who died in 1961+/-1 in Victoria, Australia produces only 1 person with the correct last name out of 58 hits. (See image 1)

In contrast, from the Victoria Death Index database, on which the Australia Death Index is based, I get 35 hits for "Lindsay" where the death occurs in 1960, 1961, 1962. (see image 2)

Where is Mr TripThruTime? I would like his opinion.

Rosemary
