I just noticed that filtering out my favorites from the search results.

I don't think this is related to my extensions or privating my favorites list because I just tried this in Edge (which I consider a clean browser because I never use it and it clears everything upon exit) and got the same result. With that in mind, I don't think the usual browser tactics will work so I'm wondering if this affecting anyone else?

Hey there, if these are favorites that you have added in the last two hours, it's a problem with the background queue for updating the search system being a bit behind. It's currently catching up.

If not, then I can look into the issue further for you.

This must be what's happening because that fits my experience so far.

The search indexer queue is still pretty behind, so changes you make now show up in about 20 minutes. However, this time keeps going down as the system catches up. Things should be back to normal in a while. I have added a large amount of extra processing power to help work through the backlog.

The background queue has fully caught up and new actions are being processed in a timely manner. You should see close to normal site function surrounding search queries now.
