Incident: Slow or incomplete Slack searches

Beginning around 7:45 PM PST until around 8:11 PM PST on December 4, 2025, some users experienced slow or incomplete searches in Slack.A backend configuration change caused an unexpected spike in queries to a search-related database service. We reversed the backend configuration, which resolved the impact to the search feature. While we managed any temporarily unindexed content, users were able to perform searches in Slack as expected, but some content may have been temporarily missing.We closely monitored internal health metrics for a period of time to ensure the issue was fully resolved by December 5, 2025 at around 1:10 PM PST.
