cormac mac airt Posted November 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Have recently tried to search multiple items and keep getting the above error code, with a suggestion to try again in "X" seconds. Why am I getting this and why can't I find what I'm looking for? Also, are hyphenated words searchable (separate query)? Just to add: This is true for me in multiple browsers (i.e. Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox). cormac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitat Posted November 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Presumably you should just wait the stipulated "x" seconds before attempting the next search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PersonFromPorlock Posted November 30, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) I don't know what the problem is, but there's a lot of discussion about it available via this search page. Edited November 30, 2016 by PersonFromPorlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rlyeh Posted November 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 30, 2016 On this site? A google search shows people having the problem on other forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitat Posted November 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Probably a quirk of the forum platform. I have always found the search function here extremely good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just to stop bots from conducting a large number of immediate, consecutive searches. 9 hours ago, cormac mac airt said: Also, are hyphenated words searchable (separate query)? Yes - put the search phrase in quotation marks i.e. "fast-forward". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Saru, it didn't make a difference yesterday and it's not making one today. Have tried both a hyphenated word in quotes, and a normal word without and it still gives me that same error code. Every search attempted gives me that EC no matter how much time I put between attempts, which I've gone as long as several minutes between. cormac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted November 30, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 30, 2016 What specifically are you searching for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally I was searching for a post I'd written a while back concerning Yahweh having been co-opted by the Hebrews and not being original to them, using the specific word co-opted, when every search attempt afterwords whether related to my original query or not led to an apparently continuous loop of Error Codes. I'm assuming at this point I'm never going to be able to use the search function at UM again. If true, that royally sucks. cormac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted November 30, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Have you tried logging out of your account and back in ? What about clearing your browser cache ? The only thing I can think of is that some mechanism responsible for determining search frequency has become stuck in your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even gone as far as clearing out the junk files, ran registry cleaner and defragged my computer none of which has helped a bit. cormac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted November 30, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Next I would try it with a different browser and see if you are still having the problem. Also, if possible, try it with a different IP ( if you have a dynamic IP provider ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, not possible as I don't have a dynamic IP provider. cormac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted December 1, 2016 #16 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The only thing I can suggest is that I log in to your account to investigate the problem first-hand. Let me know if you would like me to go ahead with that. ( it will require me to reset your password ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cormac mac airt Posted December 1, 2016 Author #17 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Sorry to take so long, been busy since early this AM. Yes, please go ahead and do that if you think it will help. Any info, including new password, you can PM me with and thanks for your help. cormac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
