Hi,

I am seeing the same issue on the desktop site as well. Error 403 means, that the request cannot be completed because there is no permission to access the handler. In this case, the server cannot access the WordPress ajax handler. Therefore the search query is not even executed.
This is either because of a firewall policy, or a malformed .htaccess rule in the root directory. I suggest checking any custom .htaccess rules, firewall plugins, or any custom firewall/NAT rules.

Hi I remember previously my server provide put a POST block on the account to prevent all POST functions made to the account due to suspected malicious activity. I was told to put <Limit POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1
allow from 103.245.95.0/24
allow from [add your own public ip]
</Limit>
in my .htaccess

My website is cleaned up already but I m not sure if the POST block functions is still there. May I know how can u help me on that?

It is ok I think I have solved the problem. It is the post limit function in my .htaccess that is causing the problem
