The board search function isn’t working for me; I get:
Try shortening your search terms?
I was only trying to search on a couple of words (I don’t think all of those 71 bytes were my entered search term). Seems to be working again now, in any case.
Oops. I spoke too soon. Searching for two words works. Three words breaks.
Won’t let me search because “The token is expired.”
I’m getting a similar message to the OP when trying to search:
“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9 bytes) in /home/straightdope/boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php on line 1007”
