so i've basically been unable to use the search at all for at least the last month. i keep getting "Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. The server has high load. Please try again later."

even at 2 in the morning when the only users are me and four bots. (Ahrefs [Bot], Bing [Bot], Google [Bot], Semrush [Bot])

is the forum located on server hardware for some particularly active other forum, or is something up?

Yup, been going on for quite a while. It's annoying, but when it happens (which is most of the time), I shrug it off and manually go to each section to check for updates. For searching a specific topic, I just use Google to search the forum site which gives pretty decent results usually. I don't think this had anything to do with the board update, as it was happening to me before that. I'm just happy to have the forum up and running :) Not a fan of the madness that is Reddit etc.

Thanks. It works now. I actually think it is better than the search function on the previous version of the Forums.

Same. How can I fix it?

Yeah, search seems broken. Even at off-peak hours? Definitely an issue on their end, not user traffic. Hope they fix it soon.

It works for me 50/50 of the time. Not sure what the issue is, but I know Rex that handles the backend stuff is aware.
