But it doesn't seem to actually be resolved -- I am still getting error messaging when I try to search.

OCLC System Alerts page now says that the problem is resolved:

This problem has now been resolved. WorldCat searching is once again available and functioning as expected. We appreciate your patience while OCLC staff worked to resolve this issue.
