Search is broken [ *** Please post here for problems with SEARCH instead of making your own topic ***]
Ok, this is on my end, but thanks for the information.I have done some testing.for me scratch and among us does not work
“Minecraft” does have a chance of working.
“Among Us” and “Scratch” do work.
“Cars” does work, but “car” has a harder time loading in. Both do take a minute to load in. You might need to refresh, too.
I tested some phrases I found from earlier in this form, but they don't seem to work.
“Sus” does have a chance of working.
Typing two letters and then a number (Ex: “aa3”) doesn't work.
“Planet Clicker”, “Drift Chase”, “Geometry Dash”, “Sonic”, and “Cheese” work for me, so they have a better chance of working.
“Cat”, “Game(s)”, “Geometry”, “Griffpatch”, and “Music” didn't work for me.
It seems as if things that have an “A” in the beginning or end have a better chance of working.
According to someone, last time the search bug came up, it took 19 days to fix it, so they estimated it would take around the same amount of time.
This was when it used to work, and idk if these still do. “Cloud Platformer” doesn't work as well.

I think the reason why the search isn’t working is because of this in the api:I'm going to kill those brackets.Only those 2 bracket thingys are possibly the reason why the search isn’t working.{}
Please correct me if wrong.

*** Moderator update 1/27/2025 ***EDIT: Probably should warn by the amount of spam I'm seeing so far, the setback in getting the bug fixed is pretty severe by a few days at least. Please keep in mind that it's not going to help the bug-fixing process if we have to scroll through pages of spam posts about current US politics or how much you hate Skibidi Toilet. We don't wish to start blocking people, but if it's going to be to the point where people value engaging in spam over posting constructively and on-topic, then it may have to be something done if it helps getting to relevant information to get the bug fixed faster - our Community Guidelines do state Treat everyone with respect, Give helpful feedback, and Help keep the site friendly after all.

If it’s not working now, then the bug’s probably getting worse. We’ll also need to investigate why the API was deleted.Ok, I will need to retest phrases and this is old information from the issue a about a week or so ago.For me nothing works.

An update: Most searches just give me a error, for example:
- “platformer” search gives me a blank screen instead of a Nothing found
- some projects show the the “Whoops! Our server is Scratch'ing its head” error
- “physics” takes a lot of time to load nothing.
i guess im king of the page

I agree to plan site downtime, everyone using search at once was probably the reason it went down again. But ST could try putting back up the website in select regions at a time. That way, the servers won't get overworked.
