Continuous Crashing - whenever filter is on, I receive '0 works found - syntax error'

Reinstalling the script and even Tampermonkey itself didn't work.

Hi, I'm not able to see this behaviour. Can you please give me a list of the steps you took to see it, starting with installing the script?

For example, I just did:

1. Disable/remove all other userscripts
2. Install the saved filters script
3. Visit the Harry Potter works page
4. Expand the "Saved filters" section of the sidebar and enter -dogs -cats and -"Albus Dumbledore in the global and fandom filter boxes, respectively.
5. Enter "animals" in the "Search within results" box.
6. Click "Sort and filter"
7. See this at the top of the works page after it loads again:
8. If I visit the Harry Potter works page again, it automatically reloads with my saved filters.

I suspect that running localStorage.clear() in your dev tools console will fix the problem, but you'd also lose your saved filters.

I had the same problem, and it comes from mistyping a tag. I fixed it by clearing my browser cache for ao3, which signed me out, but let me get back to the "Saved Filters" section. I mistyped a tag and was missing a quotation mark -Albus Dumbledoor". Since that is missing the first quotation mark (it should be -"Albus Dumbledoor" it told me "Your search failed because of a syntax error. Please try again."

This does show an issue with the script since it is impossible to edit the "Saved Filters" section once there is a saved error.

It's great to hear that you were able to solve your problem by clearing your browser cache and fixing the typo in your search tag. It's always a good idea to double-check the syntax of your search tags, especially when you're getting an error message.
