"Oops, something went wrong!" on every form of search?

All this week, whenever I try to search, instead of getting back the usual expected form, I get the above error page, which also suggests that I try again by refreshing/reloading the page (which doesn't help, either). Happens when I try to search the catalog, genealogies, even historical records (using the link from a "details" record in the Family Tree). Started happening with no warning last weekend; hasn't cleared up since. Gotten the same behavior on Chrome & Firefox browsers on Mac.

    Talked with FamilySearch support and problem appears to be with how my orphaned Chrome browser handles FS's cookies. Can't say for sure who made the fatal change: FS or Chrome (or both), but apparently there's no going back. It's crickets for this old-timer.

    Could you try opening an Incognito mode with Chrome, logging in again and trying the search that way? Incognito generally starts you with a clean slate. It makes for a useful debugging mode.
