Thankfully it was fixed yesterday AM. Thanks for the feedback.Was at epcot yesterday and it worked as it always has. We pulled soarin,land,and spaceship earth as we walked in modified times as needed, pulled fea and modified it.
Is this something that just varies by guest or something? What I'm observing is different people seem to get different results, even searching at the same exact time for the same exact things.Change your title again, @JETSDAD, secondary search is back again this morning.
I'm not seeing the secondary search right now.... @PrincessWithABlaster are you still getting it or has it gone away again?Change your title again, @JETSDAD, secondary search is back again this morning.

That does look like they had it running again earlier but thankfully it's off again. Gonna have to keep an eye on it for sure.This is what I got earlier today. But it does seem to be gone again.

When it is not running, if you are offered a FP, unless you wait for over 5 minutes to grab it (some random length of time but anything under 5 minutes is a lock), you get that FP. It also doesn't show that screen if you wait longer, it shows an error instead. Not all options are shown to everyone at the same time. We've played around with timing to see how long it holds and have also played with getting FP's options to bounce between different devices showing that different options are offered rather than everyone seeing the same thing. When the secondary search is on it appears that it is more of a dynamic system. Everyone sees the same thing and first to grab it wins. You could be offered a FP and lose it within a second of it showing up.I can't fathom they are turning on and off this feature on a constant cycle.
Can it not be that those FP were just truly gone, as in someone else clicked the same FP as you did?
And that would indeed trigger a secondary search, vs. it just doing it every time as they click the feature on and off again?
Are you inside a window? How are you able to book FP to test this out?Is this something that just varies by guest or something? What I'm observing is different people seem to get different results, even searching at the same exact time for the same exact things.
I just booked FP on 3 days, today being #1, as a test. Not once did I have to get a secondary search, with the screens shown earlier. I confirmed each FP selected. As long as I didn't delay clicking confirm.
These were all Tier 1 type FP
Most of us testing have AP's.Are you inside a window? How are you able to book FP to test this out?

It's interesting it seems to be in the morning when it's coming and going. Once it gets "fixed" it seems to be fixed later in the day. I wonder if the Rise BG situation is somehow involved. I have no idea how, but their servers would be hit early in the morning, and less after that. Or, maybe they make other changes on their servers in the mornings.
Anyone with tickets not tied to a package or an AP can book FP for the next 30 daysAre you inside a window? How are you able to book FP to test this out?
ahhhh... makes sense.Anyone with tickets not tied to a package or an AP can book FP for the next 30 days
Right at 7am EST the secondary searches were back, but only stayed for less than about 15 min (was too busy to pinpoint when it changed), and I have no way to know when they started.
