[SOLVED] Receiving "504 Gateway Time-out" when searching the forums

I'm trying to perform a search of the Forum & Wiki discussion forum, but I keep receiving a "504 Gateway Time-out" error. I've tried numerous browsers and computers but the result is the same.

Anyone else?

For anyone else that runs into this issue, I'd recommend playing around with your search term. I'm receiving this error every single time when I search for the words "missing edit link" (without the quotes), but if I try other keyword combinations it seems to work fine. My guess would be that it happens when the words in your search term are too generic (ie. words that will appear in a LOT of posts), causing the search to grind to a halt trying to deal with the number of results returned.
