Working for me, just did a lot of searching this minute, what are you trying to search?

What are you searching for Eboni? I have exactly the problem you mention whenever my search includes the word "linden".

Sounds to me like the search thread breaks - too many "Linden"s in the database for it to run through, so it times out, maybe?

(I don't use databases anymore, but I used to back when I did web sites.. PHP, SQL and what-not would time out if they were looking up too much. The process would either zombie (break/stop responding) or it would take too long for it to look it up.)

I've asked about a related thing--forum searches going blank when you search for words like "Linden", "land", "money", etc. There also seems to be a character search limit which is uncomfy for some, e.g. searching for "serendipity" will say that's too long. So, progress on this is ongoing. I don't know when it will be fixed but thanx for the heads-up!
