I suddenly can’t search for chicken wings, chicken, or wings. Is there an issue with some database or another or is this user error?

    Hi! I currently have the same issue. I think perhaps it’s affecting the app’s server as a whole and we must be patient and wait for it to be fixed.

    I’m dealing with the same problem. Even basic foods aren’t showing up in the database.

    I sent a message to support. Has anyone else chimed in? Maybe if everyone bugs them it will get some attention.

    I have tried Trader Joes, Graham Cracker, even Whataburger to no avail. Is the site down?

    Two other threads already asking about it. I also can't search, so yes, it appears there is a search issue for both the app and website at this time.

    I started having the same issue. Everything was fine and all of a sudden I can’t look up the mango margarita or anything else for that matter I can only see my history.

    I have tried the food search on the app, right after updating, so I thought it was an update issue. I then logged into the browser on my laptop and same issue here as well. Leaving a comment so that they can get more details to resolve the outage.

    Anyone having trouble seeing the whole food database when you search for the food? I can scan food and see my food history that's about it

    Yup, getting an error while searching for foods, something to do with the server.
