Search failure, see attached screenshot. Happened the last few hours today. Earlier today it was working fine.

this one was fixed already, as one server didn't have internet for several hours and somehow its router settings got corrupted, the server is up and fixed now, i'll connect it later.

Up and running indeed, but:
Now the results seems very few compared to similar searches some time ago.
Is something wrong with indexing?

I've just restored the remaining server, so the older headers should be availalble too now.

Looks like the Search Service is broken again

It should work now. I'll try to resume monitoring servers in real time.

Down again

I'm not sure, maybe it was long cleanup making searches slow, there was no actual server downtime.
