But here on Meta it happens even with one or two characters, such as https://meta.codidact.com/catego... (1 comment)
Reproducible but not for that reason (1 comment)

This is marked status-completed now, but the bug is still completely reproducible. It indeed seems to happen when there are no matching tags. The searches from the OP do work now; I guess it's now searching the entire tag description instead of just the tag name. But a search like this should never result in a 500-series error; it should show a normal tag search page, just without any results (perhaps with a custom message instead of blank space).
