The above video displays two issues:

1. When I hit search, it doesn’t load results, I have to refresh the page for results to load. ~~This seems to be related to the accessibility theme.~~

2. AI results cards are unclickable.

Hmm, yes. I can repro that on here too using the default theme.

Doesn’t seem to be an issue on [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org)

There doesn’t look like there’s anything in `/logs`

Seems to work fine in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) (plugins disabled)

It could be specific to AI plugin? My sandbox got updated to latest and it works fine (don’t have AI plugin there)

I have Ai bot on my forum and I upgraded like 4 hours ago — and search itself works fine.

It can be connected to AI search results, though.

There are a lot of issues at the moment . I also reported a case where you have to refresh to get all the search results

> To find out if the background also disturbs the search results in desktop mode, I searched for “search”. I noticed that 92 search results were initially shown at the top. However, I can only see 50 of them. Somehow the others apparently cannot be loaded. Then I refreshed the page. Now there are 50+ results and I can also see the 51st result. The loading process works. Is there something wrong with the first search?

I’ve turned off `ai embeddings semantic search enabled` and it does seem to fix it for me. Can anyone else confirm?

~~The search button is still not working on mobile, I still have to refresh the page after entering the search query for the results to load.~~

EDIT: After reloading a few times, seach button is working now

AI results are not showing anymore.
