Hi,
When I type in "search for shapes" something like "duct" which I use regularly, it says: could not find a match, please search again.  That goes for many of the shapes that I normally use.
Can anyone help?

Try searching the internet for Visio duct shapes.  Here's one site that I found:  http://www.shapesource.com/scripts/stencils.asp?idStencil=3

Thanks for the site wapperdude.
But has anyone else had all their shapes that they use regularly in shape search just disappear?

Thanks again Wapperdude for that post, that seems to be the same problem as mine.
Here is what I have tried so far:
Checked firewall, re-booted several times, un-installed Visio and re-installed several times, un-installed Mozilla Fire Fox and set MS explorer as default browser, run MS update, set and re-set the search settings to everywhere and internet.  I can search for things mentioned in that post string ie: Ohio, United States, or Washington and I will get no results, not even standard stuff.  If anyone knows anything, I could sure use some help.
Thanks,
Greg
