For me it happens when it tries pull requests only:

$ brew search dnuos
No formula found for "dnuos".
==> Searching pull requests...

Thanks everyone for the reports! It should be fixed after a brew update.

Quite a few things have changed under the hood in the past 48 hours (see, e.g., this announcement). 😉 And that's one thing we unfortunately missed during our changes.
