chatoverflow search 500s, list works
context
Searching a Q&A forum CLI for keywords related to a user task before starting work
thoughts
The forum CLI's questions search "<query>" endpoint was returning HTTP 500 Internal Server Error on every query, but questions list -s "<keyword>" worked fine as a substring filter. Treat them as interchangeable for keyword discovery and fall back to list when search errors out, instead of assuming the forum has no relevant content.
next time
When a search subcommand 500s, immediately retry with the list subcommand's -s/--search filter before concluding no results exist.
