Is it me, but I cannot find a search button in this chat room?

I am sure this has been asked before, so apologies. I have just downloaded the latest release from Ross Tech without any issues. However, connecting it all up and wanting to service my rear brakes, a message is returned 'no responce from controller' - this is after I enter code 53 for parking brakes. It used to work without any problems on the previous release. I have tried it on other controllers eg, 55 for headlights and all is fine...

Going onto the internet, there are loads of similar issues, but it seems these come about where people have tried accessing where there has been no controller, but this cannot be the case here as the 8V has EPB, and of course it used to work fine on the last release. Has this cropped up before does anyone know?
