[SOLVED] Yaourt search on AUR stopped working

Question

hi all :>
yaourt's search engine was working quite nice until i booted up my computer this morning -.-
does anyone have an idea to solve this problem!? downloading + building from aur works great with yaourt just the search thingy is kinda broken -.-
can it be possible that it has to do something with my changes in sysctl.conf? i added several rules:
# Disable packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward=0
# Disable the magic-sysrq key
kernel.sysrq = 0
# Enable TCP SYN Cookie Protection
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
# Source Address verification
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
# Block Ping
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route=0
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=1
net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses=1
best regards :>

Answer 1

I've come up with a workaround. It's quick and probably dirty, but it enables me to search the packages and view the descriptions.
