Do you guys use IEEE or something else? I have to look up MAC IDs frequently and the IEEE site has been going nuts recently.

It has been having problems for at least a week or so. I thought it was working this morning after I looked-up an OUI, but then it went right back to the same problems as last week.
I currently use a couple custom searches in Chrome:
I also used the bookmark keyword custom search feature in Firefox for many years before Chrome was released.
...so all I have to do is type "OUI" or "MAC" into my address bar, followed by a space or a tab and the search term.
I would normally prefer to look-up through coffer.com because it's smart enough to strip ":" and "-" or extra characters to get the first 6 from a MAC ID. I could paste a whole MAC and I don't have to format it a particular way. However, I frequently find that the OUIs I search for aren't in their database ~50% of the time, so I started using IEEE almost exclusively and carefully formatting my search query.
When my custom search stopped working, I try to do it directly through their site and I have the problem you see in the video.
Just after recording that video, IEEE finally worked again. I spent a half hour trying to find out what brand a particular device was. It was very frustrating.
