Q&A Searching tags with a string with more than two characters results in a 500

I suspect it's a 500 if the search is not found in any tags. I can reproduce with a single-char search of z on Software. This is wild speculation, but maybe there's some item access that can't deal...

It's not no-result searches.
  • I suspect it's a 500 if the search is not found in _any_ tags. I can reproduce with [a single-char search of `z`][1] on [Software][2]. This is wild speculation, but maybe there's some item access that can't deal with a null or empty array of results.
  • Thanks to [Monica][3] and [Trichoplax][4]'s 2-char demos for putting me on this track.

  • ## Update
  • There's a `serialization` tag, so it can't be based on empty results, at least not if the search is just `%term%`.
