We’ve identified the cause of the issue and implemented a partial fix. Users signed into a Slack workspace should now be able to search the API documentation as expected. 
We’re continuing to work towards a full resolution, and users who are not currently signed in may still experience some issues. Restoring full functionality for all users remains our top priority. 

We apologize for the inconvenience and will report back as additional information becomes available

Further investigation confirms that the search functionality errors are isolated to api.slack.com. General search across Slack continues to function as expected. 
Our team remains actively engaged and is exploring all possible solutions to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

We’ll continue to provide significant updates as additional information becomes available.
