### Search times out

The "Search..." bar on the forum doesn't work for me; it always times out.

If it is of help to anyone else, I've found that I can use my browser's omnibar as an alternative: simply typing "forum.sagittal.org: thing i was searching for" there works.

### Re: Search times out

Thanks for that. Fixed now.

I had noticed it too, and tried rebuilding the index, to no avail. Searching the PHP help forum told me that the likely culprit was: failing to install and enable the optional "mbstring" extension when I upgraded PHP to version 7.4 recently. I fixed it by logging into the server as root and issuing the following commands:

apt-get install php7.4-mbstring
service apache2 restart
