Hi there, I tried out your suggestion, unfortunately it didn't work. In the meantime, I discovered something quite odd. If you give the search a non-indexed term of 15 characters or more, it won't give you the 500 error. For example: http://iupac.org/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=htdig&restrict=&exclude=www.iupac.org%2Fgoldbook%2F&; method=and&format=builtin-long&sort=score&words=859584758575867 however if you run that with less than 15 characters, you will get the 500 error: http://iupac.org/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=htdig&restrict=&exclude=www.iupac.org%2Fgoldbook%2F&; method=and&format=builtin-long&sort=score&words=85958475857586 I'm really quite baffled, but I feel this might be a vital clue.
