The problem searching PubMed via the proxy has been resolved. If you continue to experience problems, please report them here.
Using PubMed through the proxy server is currently causing searches to fail (i.e. you click the Search button and nothing happens). The National Library of Medicine is aware of the problem and working on a fix. In the meantime, there are two workarounds:
