"Search" is not working properly - MSE IT Team attention required

This did happen to me over the weekend.

Still happening today and it is getting annoying.

I've just had another FOUR false "no matches" from searches and I had to wait 15 seconds to search again - problem described in detail in post #16.




PS. I'd just like to add that the terms being searched are not in brand new threads, but in threads several hours and days old. ie. it is not an indexing/B-tree issue like those when the forum gets a complete restart. The follow-up "advanced search" always finds the expected threads with no problems.

Working fine for me, though I have had the 15 second warning a fair few times over the weekend.

I have been having this still, says I have to wait 14 seconds until I can search again....

Just got the error whist searching a thread:

If I type in a search term and click enter I can search without problem but if I click the go button, it always gives the 15 second warning message

Failed again on forum search - this time selecting an autocomplete term and clicking "go"
