Radarr refuses to search for a specific word

This feels like such a bizarre issue that I don't understand (though I'm a novice here so there's a lot I don't understand).

I had a user using requestrr to search for Cabaret (1972). It wasn't working, which was strange because the bot was just working for a different title. I go to put the name of the movie into radarr myself and it's doing its autosearch per usual as I type the letters of the title. The moment I type the final "t" in cabaret, it errors out and stops searching.

The error it throws is "Invalid response from RadarrAPI. Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'source')".

See here when I search for just "cabare"

Then as soon as I add the "t"

This is more of a curiosity than something that I need to have solved. I was able to find the film by scrolling down far enough on the search for cabare to find it.

It also will successfully search if there's anything other than just the letters "cabaret" in the search bar. It's possible the issue is with requestrr from the original search and it's hung up on some corrupted search request or something (as I said, I'm a novice here and not very experienced with this kind of application). I haven't restarted radarr or anything, so it's possible that would solve it as well.

EDIT: today (the next day) I can search the whole word and it works fine. I didn't restart Radarr or anything. Weird.
