Search freezes the entire page, but only with some search terms
-
Some search terms (possibly some result from those terms) are causing the search page to become unresponsive.
E.g. if I search for
something, it works fine. I can scroll around, open the advanced search options, etc. However, if I search for (e.g.)off by one, it completely freezes everything, including the composer. Also apparently it doesn't update the tab title, as seen in the "Page Unresponsive" dialog that the browser throws up:
Possibly relevant information: Windows 10, Chrome 71

Ah, I see my notice of this problem has been noticed by other persons!
Edit: Wait, that's not the right one, one sec...
Edit edit: Damn, I can't find it, but searching for a specific post which happens to contain all the emojis will cause this. I can't seem to discover it anymore...

But only with advanced search restrictions set, because Pathetic Search™ completely failed to find it with a less restrictive search.

Bump. I just had the same thing happen looking for the "Discussion of NodeBB Updates" thread, so I had to manually scroll and ctrl+f like a caveman

Tried it. Didn't make it unresponsive, just very slow until FF told me that a script in uBlock Origin is making a page slow.

@Tsaukpaetra I found this:
https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/11601/full-list-of-currently-supported-emoji
Which came from a search that executed fine.

Clear cache and check again.

I just tried searching for the emoji post, and it hung for a few seconds while rendering the images, but it was fine afterwards. Whereas the other searches that had problems never recovered.
