Directory Search Breaks Site

[Tamper Evident]

Hi,

I tried to search for all businesses listed in Melbourne (just to see if anyone sparked my interest)
http://www.flyingsolo.com.au/directo...lbourne%2C+VIC

The search returns a 500 bad gateway error.

If I do a search for all listed in Perth it works.

I think it is a volume error. You miught want to limit search results done in this way to the top x.

Thought I would let you know. Plus, is there a way to browse by area?

Hi Tamper Evident,

Thanks for letting us know about this, I will pass the info on to Peter.

I've not tried searching by area without including a category, so I'll ask Peter to let us both know.

Please bear with us as he may not be able to reply 'til tomorrow.

Thanks,
Jayne

Yikes, thanks for pointing this out - it's a timeout error related to our new server that we moved to yesterday. I'll get it looked at asap.

There's not currently a way to browse by general area, only suburb. At this stage we don't have the data we need to facilitate the 'nearby' type search. It's currently designed more as a keyword/business type search. Although the search functionality is high on our list of things to enhance.

Thanks for your help with this

Just to let you know we've fixed that timeout issue for large results sets.
