Search seems to be broken

[sarbian]

I am unable to do some search on the forum. For example a search for "research Icon" always generate a 500 error. A search for the same words in specific subforum give me the "wait 2s for a new search" even if it is the first search I did and give me a 500 if I wait a few min before retrying it.

I guess the provider move broke a few things.

i tend to always double quote the search string:
https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/search/&q="research icon"&sortby=newest

I don't want to search for a sentence. I want posts that include those 2 words and it worked fine before.

You can not break what never worked to begin with. The forum search feature has been a total disaster from day 1.

Over the past few years many times I have tried to search the forum for something. Only to be, yet again, utterly disappointed as the search simply refuses to complete. By the time I had opened a second browser, typed in the EXACT same search into google and found what I was looking for the forum search was still not finished.

Best advice: Don't use the forum search. It's crap, it doesn't work. Use google instead.
