Answer:
Because this is a legacy
product, we are no longer able to support the application software with the
frequent updates required to fix bugs such as this and so we are unable to confirm
that this issue will be fixed any time soon. A possible work around is to
uninstall the app and also the Java platform and then reinstall the app; this
will revert the Java platform to version 6, however this is not recommended as
it may expose your computer to security vulnerabilities fixed in later
versions. In any case, the platform will once again update itself to version 8
eventually.
Unfortunately this
is a known issue that is caused by later updates of the Java software platform,
upon which the app is based. It was originally written for Java 6 whereas the
latest version is Java 8, and since the platform updated to version 7, we have
found that the search functionality no longer works. (Please note that
Java is a platform owned and operated by Sun Micro Systems Ltd and so is not
within our control with regards to updates etc.)
The best way to find your stations is to
browse for them using the explorer tree (which is below the search bar). This lists the
stations alphabetically by location and/or genre.
