Posting to confirm that this is happening to me as well. Tried a full reinstall of the game and it is still occurring.

same. crashing using /isearch, reliably.

Getting very mixed reports of this from friends, and cannot confirm anything other than correlation, but this sounds like this could be related to having large amounts of items in the glamour dresser.

The command works fine for me on characters without items in the glamour dresser, but my main has over 700 items in theirs now, and I do remember being able to successfully use /isearch early Tuesday after the patch, as I looked for items to store in the dresser.

Happening to me aswell as of this evening. Had been fine since patch until now.

I can confirm this as well. I crash to desktop every time I /isearch on my Main who has 735 items in his glamour dresser but my alt with closer to 100 items does not crash when doing an isearch

FWIW, I have over 700 items in my glamour dresser, and was able to do /isearch successfully.

However I am having persistent crashes in game since Friday (26Aug2022) morning PST anywhere from the character selection loading screen or after 1 minute of gameplay. Previously had no issues playing daily since patch launch, but spent over 10 hours troubleshooting this and is documented in another thread I had posted.

Likewise, 696 items in glamour dresser. Also definitely used /isearch just after patch, only encountered this issue after I added a large number of items to the glamour dresser over the past three days, now using /isearch causes a hard exit of the client every time. I also logged onto one of my other characters with an empty dresser and couldn't reproduce.

I went and removed items from the glamour dresser and added them back one at a time, for me /isearch worked normally up to 649 items, and then proceeded to crash again at 650 items. If I removed items again, at 648 items /isearch resumed working without causing a crash, and continued to do so for 649, so this might possibly help other people in the meantime.

Tried this myself, reduced down to 645, and attempted a search, but still crashing on my end, so I'm thinking it might be related to specific items, or specific types of items, rather than the total.

Tried removing any duplicate items, since I had a couple of copies of certain things in different colors, and no change there either. I'm wondering if having too many pages of items of a particular category could do it. I've got three pages of gloves, pants, and boots, but four of body pieces. Might try reducing that, but burning this many glamour prisms is starting to get expensive.

Was really hoping that emergency maintenance last night would do something, but not sure what that was supposed to fix. It clearly wasn't this.

Edit: Reduced down all of my categories to three pages or less, total items 644, no joy. This game's code must be non-euclidean hyper-spaghetti.

Just on the off chance, you don't happen to know exactly which particular items you added/removed between the 648 and 650 where it began working and then stopped again, do you? I'm wondering if it's a particular item, or item family that's causing it.
