Games listed from opening explorer is broken

Hello,

When I want to see the games that I have played from a certain position in the opening tree, the site shows all of the games I have ever played instead.
Basically, searching games with specified FEN doesn't work properly for my own games:
Search for games with 1. e4 which I have played only 27 times:

I don't think it is broken.

I have never heard that the Explorer worked on FEN position searches.

It does show that you have played 1 e4 27 times as white.

and that you have played 1. d4 7,322 times

When you click on the number (27), it should bring a list of games continuing from that position. It was working in the past now it's broken. I think it still works with master games and you can try it now but not with user's archive games anymore.
Also, the generated link/URL shows the functionally of searching based on FEN

It does not work for me to see my games from a certain starting position.

I don't think it ever worked that way when you had a lot of games.

It only showed you the games when you were down to a handful.

Hmmm, search by FEN was fixed for a few days and now broken again.
Edit: Fixed now. Thanks!

They fixed it for one day a few days ago, but now it is back to showing all of your games, even if you had a few games in the actual position.

Hello! Situation directly addressed with the member. That said, we do currently have an issue when clicking on the button indicated below. It is opening all games on the archive, instead of the ones selected from the position.
