The add-ons search page displays “Too many matches found. Please refine your search.” even if nothing is searched. (the page currently works normally and seems fine to use so I think this is not an important issue.) like this: [image]

Recently I haven’t found any suspicious add-ons, they seem normal new add-ons. The number of add-ons has just reached 2500 so it might have hit the upper limit in the settings as you said. (add-ons aren’t categorized like shared decks) Lately many new add-ons have been released, I think one reason i…

The add-ons search page seems to be getting slower over time, currently on my device it takes 12 seconds every time for the search page to load. This doesn’t happen on the shared decks page. (but it might just be my network or device?)

It’s loading fine for me. Have you tried an incognito/private browser window – or a different browser – or clearing your cache/cookies for ankiweb.net?

I’ve tried clearing the cache and using a different browser, this happens in Chrome and Edge on my PC (Win11) but not in Chrome on my mobile device, so it might be an issue with my PC? Anyway the search page loads eventually and the add-on page loads immediately so it’s not an important issue for no…

Sorry it seems one of the extensions was the cause, disabling it fixed the issue. (the Edge was just running temporarily slow, so I made a mistake.)
