Searching for sites doesn't work for me also.  If I find the URL for the site though, paste it in, and press Enter, it works for me.  Have you tried this?

    thanks, this technique still works in 2024!

    can't believe this has not been fixed in the meantime...

    PeterRising The strange thing is, yes it works, now, yesterday it didn't. But now, the next issue: I have cleared all sites, for all locations, no expetions, if I submit the policy, it can't, and give the message: "All location cannot be combined with individual locations" ..... there are NO individual locations, everything is set to ALL. Could this be a timing issue, that the change taken A LOT of time to run, and there is a lock on changing the policy before submitting a new Policy. (we are nearing the 20hrs now)

      AlfParmentier  Did you ever find out an answer to this issue "removing all included sites, before adding excluded sites and it's blank", thanks
