Can you share some of your example queries? Are you able to capture the
response of your failed requests? We made some changes recently to the
Search API on how it handles complex queries. Previously, there was a simple
limit of 140 characters in the query string -- now we computationally
calculate how complex a search query is and service it based off of that.
The unfortunate side effect is that it's difficult to determine how complex
a query is before trying it. Searches with many ORs and ANDs intermixed are
obvious candidates, especially when they contain additional operators.
