On the beta cluster, when using the search input in the top right corner, you will be led to the Special:Search page, but every once in a while the remodeled advancedSearch is not visible.
Weirdly enough this does not happen on our test wiki

Hmm tried it about 30-40 times and it always worked for me. ... There is an error in the JS console showing each time. But it's not coming from any AdvSearch code. :-/
TypeError: mw.config.get(...)[namespace] is undefined
Edit: Linux, FF 56.0

Tried it several times (Chrome Version 62.0.3202.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)) on Windows 10 for beta.dewiki and I was not able to reproduce the issue.

So testing this today again I found that whenever AdvancedSearch does not show up, I also see a message that I am not logged in (although even the nav bar shows me as logged in). So I guess this might be more of a "can't find the beta feature, because can't see the person is logged in" problem.
(Testing on Mac OSX FF56.0)

Where do you see this message?

Do it should you as logged in straight away? or does it take a moment and then show as logged in?

(and the grey box on top tells me I am not logged in). So I am logged in, it might even have worked before, and then it doesnt (roughly every second time). However, when I wanted to respond to your post, I had to log out again, try a few time again, and only then I got the behavior again. It is not very consistent.

It looks like this has more to do with beta not realizing I am logged in (and thus not finding my beta preferences) than our stuff. We will keep an eye out on test, though
