I literally cannot search ANYTHING on scratch

Greenwave_Rebirth

I don't know if this is occuring to anyone but when i try to search something on scratch literally nothing appears. It's really fustrating and I wanna know how to fix it.

Different browser? Nope.
Clear cache? Nope.

I am DONE unless somebody wants to help.

It's an ongoing bug.

It's a bug with the search engine. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I'm using Chrome, latest version. I have had this problem for 2 days

It's a bug. I recommend waiting a couple hours then checking back.

Scratch's search engine is currently broken, and all we can do is wait for it to be fixed.
Unfortunately, no one seems to know what's causing issues or when they will be fixed.
This affects everyone on Scratch, so the Scratch Team is aware of the situation.

For now, you can type "site:scratch.mit.edu (search query)" into a search engine like Google to work around this bug.

This also affects the Explore page, since that's internally based on Scratch's search engine.

Because it's useful information.
The people making new topics about this bug don't seem to know this info, so I'm just bringing them up to speed

Already have done. It turns out you can search things that are 4 letters max and it will work.
