Yup, few times, but not sure which addon causing that.

I do not think its a add on...

I am pretty sure that the errors esoUI/ingame/utility/textsearchmanager is part of actual game code.

rpa

Yes. Not bothered to check without addons. If it's not an addon issue, it will be fxed in few years.

oterWitz

Yeah I just got that a few minutes ago. Looks like the patch today messed something up. I would also tend to believe it's an addon an am not too worried about it messing anything up apart from the error message.

LalMirchi

Yes, I got that error message yesterday on PC-NA after the maintenance.

SeaGtGruff

It isn't from an add-on, because I don't use any add-ons and I've been getting it. We've posted about it in the Bugs forum. You can just (E) Dismiss Error and the game continues as though nothing bad happened, so it isn't a game-breaking bug, just an annoying one. Given the specific details we've reported, I imagine it should be easy to fix and will hopefully get taken care of in the next incremental patch-- i.e., in a couple of weeks.

Lugaldu

Yes, happened today for the first time.

Wolfkeks

Yeah I've seen this too. I disabled my add-ons but it still pops up.

Lady_Lindel

Been getting that today too.

Old_Foggy

Yes same here both times I have visited the fence today.

SpacemanSpiff1

Yea, got it yesterday.

Romo

Yep, getting it on all fencing since last update.

Ippokrates

Yeah, still have it, day two. After closer look, it is rather UI thing, not addon.

Thank you for your understanding and we will provide an update when one is available!

PC NA No Steam. This started for me with 100% reliability when exiting a fence dialogue yesterday (July 12) after the patch.

Thanks to @majulook for making this thread so I know it's not just me.

Thanks also to @ZOS_Adrikoth for the quick acknowledgement that it does appear to be a game problem so I don't have to fret troubleshooting my add ons.

Ashryn

No add-ons and getting it. PC NA

ShawnLaRock

No add-ons. Getting it PCNA.

Pyr0xyrecuprotite

yup. PC/NA (non-steam).

mr_stealth_b14_ESO

It's also happening on Stadia, which uses a custom version of the PC client.

Managed to copy the text in one error message. Pressing fullstop . to get into cursor mode did not work while this error was active for the other times this bugged out.

Just got the same error after interacting with Fezez (only once, even though I sell him stuff like every few minutes):

Edit: It got immediately followed up by:

Edit2: on testing, it happens when I hit the "Mail" button while trader interface is open. Just closing the trader interface doesn't cause the error.
