Ask HN: Safari crashing on certain search terms (iOS 17)

1 points by ivan_gammel 2y ago ↗ HN

I just noticed that on my phone with recently updated iOS Safari is crashing when I type “intel “, “amd “ or “nvid” to search in DDG. Other search requests seem to be fine. What kind of bug could be so selective? Can it be exploited?

Again? This happened some time ago with different search terms, and they fixed it server-side. I believe it was related to their autocompletion thing ("Siri suggested website").
