Forum lens not showing any results oftentimes

gladiator2339

This is not easily reproducible since it works after a single failed attempt and then Kagi decides itself to not work again.

these are some of the most basic search queries I can think

Basically, first attempt of forum lens almost always fail. After a failed attempt, it works just fine. This has been an ongoing problem for me since like few months ago but I just never used forum lens since then so 🙁 What's worse is that failed search will be cached so I will never get the answer for what I initially searched for right away, even if I re-search. Judging from the absent of likewise topic I'm assuming this is not going to be reproducible easily but I've been dealing with this for so long :cry:

I;m in ASIA-EAST.

Desired functionality: working forum lens without having to try second time.

gladiator2339 Hello! Yes, unfortunately I can't reproduce this issue (trying from the same server).
Does this happen every time you conduct the first search using the "forum" lens, or does it occur with other lenses as well?

Also, are the high latency values exclusive to when you use lenses?

Hi,

Fortunately, this is no longer an issue as I was testing for few more times(originally only happened with Forum lens, btw)

But thinking that this was an ongoing issue for few months I hope you give this a short check!

Okay I had to reopen this feedback because it happens again and more frequent than ever before..

as you mentioned, high latency is exclusive to lens, especially forum lens. All the other lenses, including custom ones, work just fine at one go. Forum lens however does not work at first/second try or even not at all.

It's really frustrating yet I have no way to reproduce this reliably. If there is something I can do I'll be glad to.

edit:

This is not dependent on search query
This does almost every single time I use forum lens.

Stat info follows:

Status: 
Connected to: ASIA-EAST
Network latency: 350ms

This gets fixed itself, mostly after second try
This does not get fixed by itself when the same query is given, assuming because of caching
I'm accessing from South Korea. This is not dependent on specific network.

gladiator2339 Thank you for the information. We will investigate further and provide updates in this thread.

It wasn't proper, continuous test but Forum lens seems to be working at the first try again for some time now. I will continue to give updates on this matter if anything happens again. Thank you!
