Heck a big consortium like that and it takes 6/12 mths what next seems that they don't have an issue with anyone and just ignoring the complaints.

Now that does sound positive, there must have been quite a few that complained of such doings

Crashing of their server seems a pretty weak excuse really coming from a site such as that.

I'm sure they would be well equipped to say the least.

But it Could be true on the other hand as the LDS site spat the dummy a few days ago, but that was probably because the site has had a rather big upgrade and seemed quite probable that something was not put in place right.

The NSW / ACT Association have just been told that their email regarding the removal of the wildcard search option for the NSW BDM online has been passed on for further consideration regarding the re-instatement of the wildcard or using other alternate ways to prevent the server overloading and crashing.

Great news. Have just registered as I have been waiting for Monaghan to turn green for ages.

Thanks Rosemary. I have seen the same reply, maybe it is the standard one they are sending in response to the wildcard query.

Hopefully the change will stop the server from crashing. It looks like we are going to have to get used to searching without the wildcard option.

I just received an email with the following reply to a query regarding the removal of the wildcard (not by me but I don't wish to use someone else's name without permission):

 

Thank you for your enquiry.

The wildcard search option has been removed from the Registry's online search database.

This option has been removed to improve the reliability of the search facility for our customers. Wildcard searches were overloading the server, causing the system to crash periodically.

You can still use '?' to replace a single character in the search.

If you require any further assistance , please contact us or visit our website at www.bdm.nsw.gov.au.

 

Kind regards
