    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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. :)

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