I have found a problem with the Advanced Search. It involves both the client and the server. If I use Advanced Search and only select the following:
Toyline: Canada
Released After: 12/31/2007
Then click Search, the following three things happen:
1. If done in Firefox 4, Firefox hits max CPU and hits max system memory. At the time of the crash, Firefox reported it used 89% of available CPU and over 2GB of memory.
2. If done in IE9, IE stops responding but does not crash. Eventually it does return results BUT my PC froze until it did.
3. Shmax gets very slow once returning to the site. For example:
3.a. After the Firefox crash, it took longer than usual to return to the site.
3.b. During the IE search test, Firefox timed out getting into this forum section.
I'm not certain how this can cause a system crash like this, but some input validation should be added to the search for now to set a minimum number of things you need to search with? Not sure, you'll have to check it out.
