Searching topics

• Typing waits about 320 milliseconds before requesting results.
• A new query cancels the previous browser request.
• The server validates query length and language codes.
• Upstream requests use a descriptive Novus Learn User-Agent, bounded retries, caching, and rate-limit handling.

Try a broader phrase, another spelling, or a different language edition. Novus Learn does not inject fictional fallback results.

Offline search shows a local state before making a request. A 429 response reports Wikimedia's requested wait time when provided. Saved local topics remain available offline as shortcuts, but opening uncached source content still needs a connection.
