Recast This is probably a different bug, we are looking for examples here that after some time return results where they previously didn't

    5 days later

    I ran into this today as well searching for "tinygem"

      20 days later

      How is it possible that "redfin" returns no results at all?

      UPDATE:
      It returned no results a couple times in a row, but a few minutes later it worked fine.
      Nevermind.

      Sorry the query is chopped off. I didn't see this thread nor the post about getting the query into the screenshot.
      If I do the same thing now (use the dedicated search box in firefox, not search/address omnibox, not website) the entire query is https://kagi.com/search?q=redfin but it's also working now, so it doesn't prove that the non-working didn't some sort of extra junk just off the end of the visible part of the query in the screenshot, even though there isn't anything like that on a new query now.

      I normally ignore "no results" when I think the query is uncommon, but now regardless of the query I will keep an eye out for any no-results to capture the full original query, and try it again 30 minutes later, and report any of those I encounter.

            bkw777 Thanks this is due to a rare bug that we are still trying to pinpoint.

                Merged 1 post from Capital letters not treated the same as lowercase yielding negative search results.

                  BYZ1 Unfortunately the bug is related to something else, capital letters work just fine (if you try again it will likely work)

                      Vlad changed the title to No search results found .

                        Are we sure this is even related to the exact query text and not the result of an unhandled error flow or missing retry somewhere in the fabric?

                          dcow It is not related to the query text - trying with different casing as people of done just breaks a cache and allows a full retry. The main thing that we have been looking at is GC pauses pushing things over our latency budgets, but we're continuing to buid in more observability tooling to get a deeper understanding.

                            I searched for "fzf-share" (exact string match) and got back no results. After I realised I had safe search on, I disabled it and got the expected results.

                            I would expect to get back the results even while safe search is enabled, since they were SFW webpages: GitHub, the NixOS wiki, SFW sub-Reddits, and a couple of personal blogs.

                            What's maybe also interesting is that DuckDuckGo does not return results either (both in safe and unsafe mode), whereas Google gives back the expected answers by default.

                              I have safe search enabled and that request works fine on my side.

                                Merged 2 posts from No results when safe-search is enabled.

                                  🤔 I just tried again and I do get the expected results. I'm on a different machine now, but that should not make a difference, right?

                                      What plugins do you mean exactly?

                                      In any case, I'm back on the machine where I initially had the issue and now get results back there as well.
                                      I'm not entirely sure what went wrong the other day. I guess you can ignore my (non) issue then.

                                          sometime some browser plugins extensions/add-ons (sorry 😅 ) can break websites behaviour.
