Why isn't Scratch search working?

So why is it when I search Scratch basically doesn't even try to search when I type anything. So it's like
when green flag clicked
forever
say [Searching...]
Don't search
end
its annoying

and also when I just want to find a good remix

when green flag clicked
forever
if <[remix] = [changing one thing]> then
"That's good enough"
end

As @2016s4m29 helpfully stated, Scratch's search engine is currently broken, and all we can do is wait for it to be fixed.
Unfortunately, no one knows when this will be fixed or how to fix it.
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.
You can also discuss the bug here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/790866/

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

That's a signature. It's something you can have below your text. Here's the link to make your own.
