Error 12031 when repeatedly searching

Question

Hi
If I repeatedly search from the Search Results page, on the third search, the search goes away for about 50 seconds and then comes back with "An Error Occurred" and clicking on the details I get "Unexpected Response from Server.  The
status code of the response is 12031.  The status text of the response is "".
If I now go back to the home page and enter the third search again, it works OK.
If I go back to the home page between searches and search from the home page, everything is OK.
The error only occurs when I repeatedly search from Search Results page.
looking at the url for the search, the search box just seems to append to the search url.  It does does not clear the previous "k=......" from the url before it adds the new search so I get
http://xxxxxx/sites/search/Pages/results.aspx?k=9114580#k=2434258
I am running SP2013 SP1.  I have three app servers running all of the search components and three web servers.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to clear the previous "k=......" from the url before it adds the new search.
By design in SharePoint, as long as the query originated from the search start page, and you have not changed it, then this will work as your query will be part of the URL with ?k=query.
To clear all filters and the search terms, you can add what designers call a dummy link with a # to the page, and that will reset your query.
<a onclick="window.location.href = window.location.pathname + window.location.search + '#k=' + escape(document.title.substr(document.title.indexOf(':')+2))" style="cursor:pointer">Clear filters</a>
For more information, you can refer to:
Add a “Clear Filters” link to your search page in SharePoint 2013
Here is a similar thread for your reference:
