Whenever I try to search for 4 different tags in any stack exchange site, I get ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS. Why is this, and is there a way to fix this? Here are some examples on different sites:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mapping+r+dataframe+list

https://mathoverflow.net/questions/tagged/artificial-intelligence+linear-algebra+matrices+mp.mathematical-physics

    Interesting bug! Searches for 4 or 5 tags redirect to themselves when I'm logged-out... GET ttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mapping+r+dataframe+list ... Location: /questions/tagged/mapping+r+dataframe+list, but they seem to work properly when I'm logged-in. Commented Mar 2 at 4:45

    I can reproduce this on MathOverflow, but not Stack Overflow. Probably because I'm logged in to the latter, i.e. what Jeremy said. Commented Mar 2 at 5:14

    This search is supposed to fail, but it isn't supposed to error, just drop the extra tags Commented Mar 2 at 6:07

    Thanks for the report Laszlo! Fix incoming. @bobble is correct that this is supposed to just cap to three tags for anon users and should do a single redirect, but that got, well, borked. Commented Mar 3 at 14:47

There was accidental change that caused an infinite redirect (yes, that's a recursion joke).

Should be fixed now. Thanks for the report!
