Thread: vantage 1.1.4 search results page not responding

vantage 1.1.4 search results page not responding

Vantage 1.1.4 is my first AppThemes Theme. Also new to WP. I have created 51 Categories (50 states + DC) and a total of approx. 2000 cities, listed as Sub-Categories of the various States.

When I enter part of a name in the left side search field and a name of a city or state, or city, state, or zipcode, the results page may display 1 or more results, but then the page times out before the very, very long list of Categories (including the 2000 Sub-Categories) list in the right column can be displayed.

Please advise.
