Body

Was searching for /\bRNCA\b/ (header for an archive I'm looking at) across all of Github, but the server first responded with 503 and now gives a "This page is taking too long to load." error.

The search URL is just https://github.com/search?q=%2F%5CbRNCA%5Cb%2F&type=code

Try adding a double backslash /\\bRNCA\b/
Searching for quotes and backslashes

While this works, that makes the search match \bRNCA and not RNCA as its own word

Closing this as there are no longer error pages but a notice in the search if the query is too expensive or results limited due to server timeout.
