Search repeating first 10 results on every page

Kipepeo

All searches seem to be limited to the first ten results (a page's worth), which are then repeated on every page.

I have attached screenshots. As you can see, no matter what the page is (first, 555th, or 944th (the last)) are all the same.

Yes, it's only been for a few days.

I reported this to MSE on Friday 16th. They have replied that they are aware of the issue and hope to have it resolved soon.

Ah, it seems to be fixed now.

Partially. It is not repeating the same page multiple times but the results are still being presented in a random order rather by latest post which is how it was previously.

I used to advance search for competitions by date,  it used to only bring up the date i asked for but recently it has started bringing thousands of items on it.  Stopped working last week

Who would be the best person to contact

Use the Sort by Closing Date instead of Search. At the top of the Competitions Time board, click on "Sort New" then select "Closing Date". This puts the whole board in end date order starting at the longest date. 
This gives more complete results than search even when search is working.
