Hello @bafna,

Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

The issue here is because of the invalid search result string that you set in our breadcrumbs settings.

If the issue happens again, you can set it to the default format by navigating to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Breadcrumbs and change the “Search Results Format” to: Search for %s

Once done, clear your website’s cache and see if that fixes the issue.

Hope that helps.
