Forum search fails often

Postby papaluna » Fri Apr 05, 2019 8:53 am

Hi,
I noticed the last few weeks that the forum search functionality does not always work. It returns HTTP 500 especially when entering 2 words.

For example
https://www.esp32.com/search.php?keywor ... mit=Search

Hopefully it can be improved. In the meantime you can try

Thanks for notifying us of this issue, we're looking into it. I think we're hitting some kind of timeout.

Yes, a timeout in the PHP module or HTTPD module.

I was getting so frustrated with the search just hanging. Somehow my search for "search forum" didn't fail and brought me here.

Thanks for the advice to use google via https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aesp32.com+QUERY
That works! :)

I also find that searching within the forum often fails (or just never finishes), and that Google searching is more likely to yield useful results.

It would be great, however, if the forum search feature could be fixed (improved).
