New to TinyCat - Search function not working

Hi all, I'm new to TinyCat, and I've watched a couple tutorials on usage, but have been running into an issue I can't seem to get around. I've added a few things to my TinyCat library's catalog, and they show up on the home screen for it, which you can view here https://www.librarycat.org/lib/Timewarper3000 . However, when I try to search for something, I get no results.

To make the mystery all the more confusing, when I click on a title on the little scrolling display on the home screen, and then click a keyword on the title's entry, I am taken to a completed search that lists that item and others that match it.

Does anyone know what might be causing this, or how I might get around it? It's probably something obvious that I've just missed.

For what it's worth, I have been active since March 2007, and never seen a problem like this before. They are working hard to get things running smoothly again, but it's a fairly small team.

All good haha, I must've missed it. I totally get downtime. I didn't even know about this forum before I posted my question. Thanks for showing me!

Like I said. Never seen that long a downtime here. Hours, yes, but not days. Never seen this much trouble getting things straightened out again afterwards. Tim and Co are very good about keeping us informed when problems do develop.

I'm having the same problem and I don't understand why.

Today, (7/3/2020) I've added two books on LibraryThing but neither is appearing when I search TinyCat, although both their covers appear on the scrolling list on TinyCat's home page. Is this because there's been a problem updating the indexes?

Hi is it down now? I'm not seeing any search results

Search results for newly added books are not immediate. Currently it seems to be taking a few hours for them to be indexed for catalogue search. The first time a book is added to LT it can take a day or two for it to be indexed for site search.

Works fine for me:
https://www.librarycat.org/lib/bnielsen/search/text/mortimer+blake+comics
displays 13 titles as I'd expect.

Thanks for the quick responses, I'll see how it looks tomorrow then
Cheers!
