Hey there, long time no see.

This morning, I encountered some awkward error message (which kind of scratches head in thought) while looking up a specific sound, yet the screen on the page reads:

"There was an error while searching, is your query correct?"

and a red button that returns to the main page.

Is there a way to fix this thingy so it can keep up with the search query? Let me know if this helps smile

Also in the LATEST ADDITIONS section there is some confusion regarding dates.

When you think that you already know how..., it means that you don't know anything yet!

Hi,
I’ve been trying to fix some performance issues with the search engine so there have been some errors today. It will likely continue to happen for now, but normalmy the slowdowns only last for some minutes. I’ll look into further improving that soon.

About the dates, the confusion is mostly because of the difference between upload date vs moderation date. for most sounds the upload date and the moderation date are different, therefore sometimes we can get sounds in the latest additions section which were uploaded a couple of days ago but moderated recently, and the ordering is not evident.

Understood. Thank you!
