is it just me or does it not search when you hit enter?



The server logs say everything's working, so I hope not! Are you still having trouble?

Sometimes I get tricked when I enter a query that has the same top result as the one that's currently displayed. Then it looks like the results haven't changed, but further down the list, they have.


Same problem here, on the latest firefox & Archlinux. It searches properly when you hit search but it does not respond to hitting enter on the keyboard.

It also does not find anything for "duck sized horses" or "horse sized duck".


Nothing happens for me where I press enter either, I have to click on the search icon (firefox on linux).


Working on this. Thanks.

Edit: We have this fixed but we're reluctant to roll it out. Two days ago when we did an AWS deploy, they replaced healthy machines with unhealthy ones, and we had an hour of outage.

If you want to fix this on the client, I think the following quick fix works. At the bottom of the sense2vec script https://sense2vec.spacy.io/js/sense2vec.js , change:

    input.addEventListener('keydown', function() {
       if(event.keyCode == 13) run();
    });
to

    input.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
       if(event.keyCode == 13) run();
    });


Also noting that linking URLs with the pipe symbol (eg https://sense2vec.spacy.io/?Autechre|PERSON) will result in the "|PERSON" being dropped from the search box.


It's not just you, I need to click the search icon.
