Wordpress search - Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE)

Question

I have start to experience a issue in a project that is based on wordpress. The issue is pretty weird.

Here is the description: when I search anything that doesn't start with the letter d on the website it works fine - but when searching anything starting with the letter d i get this Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE) .

I have been searching a lot about, but can't find anything related. I have even remade the search code from scratch using wordpress query class and still didn't work.

It happens to me in all the browsers so i don't think that this is a browser related issue. I have also tried the search in several other networks and even changed a few settings on my router, but no success.

The url for the website is: http://www.estanaweb.com.br/

The most used search term that most users try and fail is "dudalina", heres the url: http://www.estanaweb.com.br/?s=dudalina , if i try searching only for "udalina" it works fine.

One solution to your problem is very easy, you only need to add the space character in front of the search-term. Wordpress will remove it for the search so you actually search the same as without but you won't get the timeout issue.

Try it your own:

• http://www.estanaweb.com.br/?s=%20dudalina

For a hotfix I suggest you place a rewrite rule into your server configuration that does automatically and transparently add a space character here.

BTW, for me the original error I got in the browser was:

Error 103 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED): Unknown error.
