search not working

[mtmorgan]

I don't think search is working on https://bioconductor.org/ ? I just get a message about a timeout or invalid search term..., e.g., https://bioconductor.org/help/search/index.html?search-bar=rsamtools/ returns

A timeout or invalid search term resulted in an error.

This should now be fixed but we will keep an eye out to make sure it stays persistent

Came to post a similar issue. I searched "bismark" and got 5454 results (everything?) https://www.bioconductor.org/help/search/index.html?search-bar=bismark/

Tried to go to second page and got a timeout/error https://www.bioconductor.org/help/search/index.html?q=bismark&start=20/

We have an active project to update the search index so I assume the second issue with be resolved with that revamp. It should also greatly improve the search capabilities and results. The first issue is accurate as there is no package names bismark but again with the revamp I assume as a keyword not a package that it will have better results once the updated search is implemented.

I just noticed the same issue as reported by @david4096: the first page of results works, but when clicking "Next" I get the "A timeout or invalid search term resulted in an error." Here is a reproducible search link: https://www.bioconductor.org/help/search/index.html?q=levi%20waldron&start=20/
