We’ve identified an issue affecting Search across messages and files. Some users may be unable to find recent content, see incomplete or unexpected results when using keywords, or experience errors while searching within channels. Our engineering team has determined that part of the system responsible for handling search requests is currently unhealthy, which is preventing new content from appearing in search results. We’re actively restarting affected services to restore normal performance. We’ll share another update in 30 minutes or sooner as progress continues. Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this issue.
