Timed out, then subsequent use timed out for about 5 minutes. Yes, I know that it is probably a dodgy search, however, I am unaware of how else to check a domain formula prior to blacklisting where I want to check for potential false positives.
I know this an old bug, but in debugging some other recent issues, I just wanted to say generally speaking there's going to many queries that are just too slow – especially if they involve regex. I'm fairly comfortable with the current timeout, which is 150 seconds. I can try increasing it, but if there's a bunch of people doing similar queries it's likely to cause stability problems either with Global Search or worse, with CloudElastic itself. This is partly why Global Search is still behind a login wall (because of misbehaving web crawlers, etc., same issue I have with every tool that does something expensive).
