  Hi,

  This forum focuses on general discussion for Office applications. I notice your issue is related to the search in forum. To get more help, I move the thread to using forum topic for more discussion.

  Thanks for your understanding.

  For me I can search, but for no more than 2 terms. If my search has 3 or more terms I get your error.

  Edit: But the search works if I replace the "+" characters with "%20" (the ASCII for a space).

  In fact, it works if you just use spaces to separate the terms. That is, replace the "+" characters with the space, " ".

  https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?searchTerm=add theame to 2019

  When you press enter, the spaces get replaced by "%20".

  Might also ask here.

  or it may have been bing that creates the invalid search URL
