## Troubleshooting: 2025-12-31

If a user **IS NOT** logged in, the system responds with:

```
Search_Query:
Status_Code: 500
Error/Reason: Login/Verification required to make this request
```

On the other hand, if a user is logged in, a query returns a result.

We, therefore, probably need to notify the user that they need to be logged in to use this service.
