Search Box Mod - Broken with Snowfall? :'(

One of the greatest mods available, Search Box seems to have been busted by the delightful Snowfall.

 

It worked on Snowfall's launch day, but was incredibly slow at loading results and would hang. Now it crashes any map I attempt to load with SBM enabled and now I've disabled it, the game works fine.

 

Noticed there's a few comments on Steam noting that it's broken too. Has anyone had any issues with this? Really hope the creator CWMlolzlz can enact a fix when possible.

Besides one crash (the game froze, had to Alt-F4 to exit), this mod has been working fine for me since Snowfall. In fact, before Snowfall I sometimes had a problem that submitting a search query would result in an endless loop of error pop-ups (which was really hard to get out of - spamming the Escape button resolved it, as it closed the search panel), but I haven't seen that issue since Snowfall...

Weird (and really frustrating) to see how the same mod behaves so differently for different players - makes it so much harder to find out what causes the problems...

    Yeah it is strange, I can't do anything with it now unfortunately, tried to get the game to work with just Search Box enabled and still get a crash on start up. Really frustrating too, as it is essential now to my city building, have been unable to play it for a week now. :(
