Errors when using the search function on Forums

Hey!
So, I've been noticing for awhile that when I go to search something on the forums, (Usually my one active RP that's not in DMs) it takes a bit to load, and then loads an error page instead of the search.
If I refresh the page it then gives me the search no problem.
Not really a major issue, just a bug that could be looked into?

Yeah, this is happening to me too. I can't look up anything, it always loads an error screen.

Looks like the forums are way larger than the software we use ever intended (well done, guys!) and the search takes way too long to find anything. I'll have to look into how I can speed it up.

Haha take that forums! I've been having the same problem. You're doing great andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)!

Glad to know that we've done something impressive!
Also for anyone who doesn't know how to get around this problem, just let it get to the error page, count to 10, then refresh it. It'll come up with your search just fine! (I say count to ten because if you refresh too fast then it glitches)

Oh thanks! I'll do that!

You're welcome!
