Load errors for Numista search

I've received many Gateway timeouts and database errors in the past half hour.

But the status page doesn't show any problems with coin search.

Getting same problem today - intermittently (~16:00GMT)

The situation seems to have improved.

Got various of these along the week. Two only within the last 15 minutes.

Monday nightmare fuel for @dzmitry.huletski 

Please could you include some exact URLs where you were getting these?

Hello,

We indeed observed a high server load and many timeouts over the past few days, and especially on March 20th and 21st. There are two main causes for the website to be so busy. First the traffic increased significantly: there are about twice as much (real) visitors compared to last year. But the bigger concern is that there are many more malicious bots browsing Numista. I could block some more over the weekend, but many bots have become really hard to detect. We are working to improve the performance of the search so that, even if we can't block these bots completely, they don't become a burden and don't impact real users.

 Not sure if this is connected to it > 

but no matter how many times the page is refreshed it keeps 

happening and the section does not get changed.  :(  

And today, search results are always empty whatever I enter  in filters (like only issuer and year).

Seems that it's working without year (but this not helps to search under thousands of pages).

I suspect the year problem is a different issue (since the previous result gave error messages, not blank results).

I see the year problem even without an issuer. The same problem exists for Gregorian date. With no issuer and asking for everything created in the year 1000 or later there are no results.

Sorry for this new issue with search. It's fixed.
