Search function in vb.org not working lately

[JohnBee]

I tried with different connection and browsers, lately I have not been able to
search when i do it times out.

do a search for "thank you hack"

Hmm, you're right - it does fail when you search for that - probably because "thank" and "you" are ignored, so you are actually just searching for "hack". I guess there are too many of these and it overloads .....

No, its defintely broken. Searching for anything borks it.

I was searching for something today too, same problem...

Searching for "test topic" works fine for me.

Searching for "Post Count" gives me a "This page can not be displayed" error in IE. In Firefox, it doesnt return any results.

"Test Topic" also works for me. Nothing else Ive tried does, however. Odd.....

Interesting...'Post count' fails for me too, and it's a quick failure, not just a timeout. It immediately displays the error. Searching for more esoteric terms, such as the elements of my sites name 'wizarding realm', works fine. I wonder if certain words, which may, or may not, exist in the vb code arrays responible for input sanitizing are confusing the engine?

"post count" DID work just a few days ago because I used that term to locate a hack I was looking for.

Well I think the general view is it's borked.

Searching for the word "borked" pops a bunch of results up for me, no problem
