Description:
I submitted the search query in the URL field of this report 3 times; the first two times I got an API error message, while the third time I got an (apparently) valid search result. The error message received was:
"error": {
"code": "srsearch--disabled", "info": " search is disabled",
}
Evidently the API is receiving an incorrect error code, intermittently, from some backend module. I have no way of identifying what causes the search to succeed some times and fail others, but I can confirm that I used the identical URL each time.
