Did you know that, "Your search criteria is too vague. Please refine your search criteria and try again"?

What shard are you conducting your search on? What was your search criteria? How often are you submitting searches?
Atlantic Any keyword input will cause this. Today I was looking for auction safes, the veteran reward, so I searched: auction veteran. However, it will break with any search term so specifics seem irrelevant. It was the first search of the day. This happened/is happening right now as I am making this posting.
Please, for the love of everything that is Ultima Online, fix this feature Kyronix, you're our only hope apparently. It has been broken since publish 106 on August 14 2019.

How often are you submitting searches? It doesn't seem to matter if its the first thing I search for upon logging into the game, or if I search every 5 minutes or 30 minutes it always gives the "too vague". These search terms used to work fine all the time as I used to search pretty much daily for clean legendary items as that is what I like to collect in game.
If I sometimes remove "not cursed" it might display results but its quite rare. That is even more strange because that would be making the search more vague rather than less vague
We believe that this is a messaging issue related to vendor search timing out.
The message is inaccurately indicating that the criteria is "too vague" instead of indicating that the search has reached it's time limit (~60 seconds).
I have submitted a problem report into the system to provide more accurate messaging based on the actual search results.

Does this mean that the search terms I posted won't work at all and it will just display "timed out" rather than it working??

So it will still be broken just with the correct error message?

I have retired my account due to the Vendor Search not functioning. I didn't play a lot, but everytime i try to find something, its to vague. I refuse to pay for something that is broken. I find the VS to be a critical game component, and the game is worthless to me without it.
@MackRowe what shard are you playing on and what are you searching for? Vendor search has been working without fail for at least 90% of my searches on Atlantic for the past few days.
I tell you the truth, tis better to do 10 damage on the right target than 100 damage on the wrong target.
Atlantic. I was searching for Blacksmith and Tailoring power scrolls. My searches included the following: Legendary Scroll Tailor Legend Scroll Tailoring Legend Scroll Black Scroll of Blacksmith Scroll of Tailor Alacrity (trying to find anything at this point)
I logged out and back in a dozen times. I tried reaching out to a GM, who just simply would not communicate and deleted my help request while sending a generic email response that they know of the issue but are unable to provide any information or timeline to it being fixed.
So that was it for me. I canceled my sub and turned everything over to guildmates. Done contributing my money to poor service.
Player work arounds is not fixing. Maybe, just maybe...FIX IT?!? Usually its pretty much broke on Atlantic unless you get up at 4AM est. It is now broken it seems on other shards as well. It has been a ongoing issue for to long.

This was reported back in December 2019 - LINK
The screenshot that was in my post on that thread is the same as the one I have posted above.

I requested help from a GM and the poor communication and lack of assistance has solidified my frustration with this into quitting.
I appreciate your attempt to help.
