To recreate, try this snippet of code:

import wikipedia

res = wikipedia.search('enzyme', results=2)
#WikipediaException: An unknown error occured: "Search is currently too busy. Please try again later.". Please report it on GitHub!

I am also facing this issue! It's been going on since yesterday. Sometimes I am able to query results but then the next second, I receive this error.
