pubmed query returns "Search did not yield any results" when there are results doing the same query in pubmed

[risserlin]

Query fro the pubmed search bar is:
("Andrews B"[Author] OR "Attisano L"[Author] OR "Audet J"[Author] OR "Bader G"[Author] OR "Blencowe B"[Author] OR "Boone C"[Author] OR "Brown G"[Author] OR "Caudy A"[Author] OR "Chan W"[Author] OR "Emili A"[Author] OR "Fraser A"[Author] OR "Frey B"[Author] OR "Gilbert P"[Author] OR "Greenblatt J"[Author] OR "Hughes T"[Author] OR "Kim P"[Author] OR "van der Kooy D"[Author] OR "Krause H"[Author] OR "Moffat J"[Author] OR "Morris Q"[Author] OR "Morshead C"[Author] OR "Rosebrock A"[Author] OR "Roth F"[Author] OR "Roy P"[Author] OR Ryu WS"[Author] OR "Sefton M"[Author] OR "Shoichet M"[Author] OR "Sidhu S"[Author] OR "Stagljar I"[Author] OR "Taipale M"[Author] OR "Wheeler A"[Author] OR "Yip C"[Author] OR "Zandstra P"[Author] OR "Zhang Z"[Author]) and toronto

Need a more descriptive error. Is the query too long? unrecognized word?

Two issues here:

(1) The query isn't entirely valid. There is a missing quotation mark. Ryu WS"[Author] should be "Ryu WS"[Author]

(2) The # of valid publications resulting from the (correct) query is greater than 500 (26924 to be exact) and the app basically doesn't generate a network out of it. I've modified this, but the app seems unable to generate the network regardless (still investigating). I seem to recall that NCBI doesn't really like it when users have extremely large requests (> 500). What was the story behind this?

Update: Network loaded but it took a very long time. Probably a good idea to notify users that the request is really large and allow them to back out (if they wish).
