Can someone please do something about Gemini?  It is a nice tool when it works.  However, for those of us that would like to find issues before reporting new ones, it makes it very difficult as it crashes (throws an exception) several times before a search actually works.  It doesn't happen all the time, but only when I really need to find something (and probably when many others are doing the same).

I had mentioned this before here in the Forums and got dismissed that I was doing something wrong with the search.  Please, I beg of you, don't do that again.  There are real problems with it.  I am doing my searches correctly.

the problem with gemini is that it's not very efficent (database wise) and that we have only limited hardware, so if it's busy then queries timeout. Now that dnn has some funding, i expect the corp will be able to do something about it - this hasn't been possible before due to lack of money.

I completely understand the frustration...

I suggest you search issues via search filters, please follow instructions here for the meantime:

Thank you.  This does actually help.  And, I try to use filtering wherever possible.  Sometimes, however, I run into issues that I'd like to do a broader keyword search for and these are what commonly fail.  Actually, yesterday, even commenting on bugs threw exceptions (my comments saved, but maybe the redirect to the issue timed out).

I would recommend using Bugzilla, though, for an issue tracker.  I know Gemini is free because DNN is OSS, but Bugzilla might be better suited for performance and cost reasons.  Run it on Windows or Linux.  Use MySql and forget about it.  Mozilla dogfoods Bugzilla and they have millions of bugs in the system.  Granted, I like how some of the "dashboards" are organized though in Gemini.  :)
