How to fix Search.ch not working
Search.ch is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach search.ch over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload the phonebook result
Tap reload and retry. If the Search.ch phone list or map stays white after you hit Search, press Ctrl + R on Windows or Cmd + R on Mac to pull a fresh copy because stale files cause most blank pages.
Test the map in a private window
You open a private window with Ctrl + Shift + N in Chrome or Ctrl + Shift + P in Firefox when map tiles or contact details fail to load. Try a lookup there.
Allow location for map pins
If the map stays grey while the phonebook loads, you blocked location or scripts. Open Chrome Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Location and grant access for the site, then turn off your ad blocker for one test because blocked scripts hide pins and routes.
Reinstall the iOS or Android app
Delete the app from your phone. Get it again from the App Store or Google Play when search and maps fail on both Wi-Fi and mobile data because a fresh copy removes bad cache. You test a lookup.

What happens when Search.ch goes down
Search.ch is a Swiss search and directory portal; residents and visitors use it for web results, phone numbers, maps, and TV listings. An outage cuts off a quick way to find a local business or check a number, so errands and small work tasks stall.
Search results hang first. Phone directory lookups fail next, while the rest of the page still loads; maps and route planning can stall or return incomplete results, and weather or TV listings may go stale. Reports can cluster by region or by one feature, so a failed lookup does not prove the whole portal is down.

How we track Search.ch
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Search.ch, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Search.ch, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Search.ch doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
