I am currently watching "NFL Football". When I press the "B" button (search) on the remote it brings up "NFL Football Fanatic" only and no listings for "NFL Football".
On the other hand if I hit the "INFO" button twice, it correctly displays the info for the game I am watching. Also there are four options shown on the bottom left. If you go down to "Other Games" and select, it will list the other NFL games in chronological order.
So it appears that the correct listing data is not missing from the system, the search function is not finding it.

i am having the same exact issues in Brookfield Wisconsin with ODN Guide B-button search (zip is 53045) The search finds almost no titles with the B-button, or in the case of the B-button keyboard with the Football summary, no longer finds any live games. I also get "B-button search "Football Fanatic" with a bunch of On Demand listings when watching a live football game.
The B-button search in ODN-Navigator brings up no live shows, sports, events, or sports teams. On what I now estimate to be up to 70% of channels in the system, when you press the B button to find shows in a Time Grid cell nothing comes up on keyboard search results.
When this started happening about a month ago, I turned off the Auto Search in Settings and than back on again to see if the B-search keyboard database would refresh over time. It made no difference.
Because of this flaw, there is only one way to find a show for the past month:
You must painfully and time consumingly scroll through the Time Grid Guide and Press Info when you want to take further action on show episodes that you want to see or set up to record. Some users have reported that the Info button does not always work for them even in doing that. But in my case, INFO seems to work, and as stated is the only way to search for a show in ODN, because up to 70% of the B-button search show results in Navigator is broken nationwide.
I can confirm that the Info button and Time Grid shows that the shows are in the search. But the B-button search is not listing them in almost 70% of the instances tried. You either get nothing doing a B-button search, or a very brief "Loading Data" please wait and than nothing.
